Jessica Fintzen, Professor of Mathematics, was recently awarded the 2024 Frank Nelson Cole Prize in Algebra. “Receiving the Frank Nelson Cole Prize in Algebra is a great honor and at the same time a big encouragement for me,” said Fintzen.
The Cole Prize in Algebra recognizes outstanding research in algebra that has been published within the past six years. Fintzen’s research deals with contributions in reshaping comprehension of representations of p-adic groups. It is awarded every three years and comes with a prize of $5,000 for the recipient.
“We in the department are delighted that our colleague Jessica Fintzen has received this prize,” said Mathematics chair Robert Bryant. “Her research in p-adic representation theory has been truly transformative, providing new ways to understand subtle questions in number theory and their mysterious and deep connections with symmetries on one hand and analysis on another.”
