Robert Bryant, Phillip Griffiths Professor of Mathematics and Mathematics Department Chair, has been named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was recognized for “Distinguished contributions to differential geometry and their applications to physics, and for extraordinary service to the mathematics profession.”
“Becoming a AAAS Fellow is among the most distinct honors within the scientific community, and the AAAS Council elects its Fellows deliberately and carefully to preserve the honor attached to this recognition,” the AAAS said in a statement.
Bryant, who studies the differential equations that come from geometric problems, is one of only five Duke faculty members named to the 2021 group.
