The Canadian Mathematical Society announced the 2022 Class of Fellows on July 4. The Fellowship recognises CMS members who have made excellent contributions to mathematical research, teaching, or exposition; as well as having distinguished themselves in service to Canada’s mathematical community.
Induction to the 2022 Class of Fellows was based upon nominations, reception of the David Borwein Distinguished Career Award or the Graham Wright Award for Distinguished Service, or reception of any other CMS prize or award for outstanding contributions for research, education, exposition and service to the Society and having served the CMS as a Vice-President, a standing committee chair or Editor-in-Chief of the CMS’ Canadian Mathematical Bulletin or Canadian Journal of Mathematics.
Layton is a professor of applied mathematics and Canada 150 Research Chair of Mathematical Medicine and Biology. She was recently appointed Associate Dean, Research and International in the Faculty of Mathematics.
Other members of the 2022 Class of Fellows include:
- Termeh Kousha (CMS/Ottawa);
- Matilde Lalín (Montréal);
- Bojan Mohar (Simon Fraser);
- David Oakden (Retired); and
- Noriko Yui (Queen’s).
Founded in 1945, the CMS is the main national organization whose goal is to promote and advance the discovery, learning and application of mathematics. The Society’s activities cover the whole spectrum of mathematics including scientific meetings, publications, grants, math camps and national and international mathematics competitions, as well as awards and prizes that recognize outstanding achievements.
The 2022 Class of Fellows will be recognized at the CMS Winter Meeting in December 2022.
