Tyrone Crisp’s research interests lie at the interface between group representations and operator algebra theory. He studies representations of groups—particularly, real, p-adic and finite reductive groups—using techniques from functional analysis, algebra, and (sometimes, noncommutative) geometry.

Gil Moss‘s research is in algebraic number theory and representation theory. His area of focus is the Langlands program, which connects automorphic forms to Galois theory. He is particularly interested in the modular representation theory of reductive p-adic groups and the way congruences and deformations behave under the local Langlands correspondence. This often requires techniques […]

Jane Wang‘s research interests are in geometry and dynamical systems. She primarily studies translation surfaces and dilation surfaces, geometric structures that have connections to mathematical billiards, Riemann surfaces, and algebraic geometry. She is interested in problems relating to the dynamics on these surfaces and their moduli spaces. Some of the problems that she studies draw […]

Brandon Hanson works in number theory, combinatorics and analysis. He studies arithmetic equidistribution problems, which concerns counting and locating solutions to equations involving addition and multiplication.

Matthew Hernandez specializes in partial differential equations, with a focus on theoretical problems arising in the dynamics of bodies of fluids, gases, and plasma. He is especially interested in the possibility or impossibility of singularity formation along curves and surfaces defining their boundaries.

Maine Mathematician. Beryl Elizabeth Warner Williams (1914-1999), from Bangor, Maine, was the first Black student to graduate in mathematics from the University of Maine, in 1935. In 1940 she also obtained an MA in mathematics from UMaine.  She went on to teach math and English at Morgan State University where she became Dean of Continuing […]
