Professor Jason Bell has been named a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) for 2021. Bell (BMath ’97) was selected as one of the 46 mathematical scientists from around the world and the only one from a Canadian university.
Bell’s research focuses on noncommutative algebra, though he occasionally works in number theory, combinatorics and other areas. After completing his undergraduate degree at Waterloo, he completed an MSc at McGill and a PhD at the University of California. He returned to the University of Waterloo in 2002 after working at University of Michigan and Simon Fraser University. In addition to his more than 110 publications, Bell is the associate editor of Algebra and Number Theory, Canadian Journal of Mathematics and the Canadian Bulletin of Mathematics.
