Fifty-two mathematical scientists from around the world have been named Fellows of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) for 2020.

The Fellows of the American Mathematical Society program recognizes members who have made outstanding con-tributions to the creation, exposition, advancement, communication, and utilization of mathematics. Among the goals of the program are to create an enlarged class of mathematicians recognized by their peers as distinguished for their contributions to the profession and to honor excellence.

The 2020 Class of Fellows was honored at a dessert reception held during the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Denver, Colorado. Names of the individuals who are in this year’s class, their institutions, and citations appear below.

The nomination period for Fellows is open each year from February 1 to March 31. For additional information about the Fellows program, as well as instructions for making nominations, visit the web page https://www.ams.org/ams-fellows.
