Dr Ronald Graham awarded the 1993 Euler Medal of the ICA

EULER MEDALS FOR 1993

In announcing the Euler Medallists for 1993, a reminder about the qualifications for the Medals is in order. Up to two Euler Medals per year may be awarded. A recipient must be a Fellow of the ICA and must have made a particularly distinguished lifetime career contribution to research in Combinatorics; the Euler Medal is not meant to recognize one specific achievement. Furthermore, a recipient should still be active in research.

By majority vote of the ICA Council, 1993 Euler Medals have been awarded to Claude Berge, one of the world's most distinguished graph theorists, and Ronald Graham, a research combinatoricist of enormous breadth, depth, and influence. Members of the ICA may be interested in the extremely brief summaries of their research careers that follow.

Ronald L. Graham. Ph.D., University of California (Berkeley), NSF Fellow and Woodrow Wilson Fellow.

1962- Adjunct Director, Research, Information Sciences Division AT&T Bell Labs
1986- University Professor of Mathematical Sciences, Rutgers University
1987, 1989 Visiting Professor of Computer Science, Princeton, University
1983(Winter) Fairchild Distinguished Scholar, California Institute of Technology
1979, 1981 Visiting Professor of Computer Science, Stanford University .
1979 (Spring) Distinguished Visiting Professor, University of California, Davis
1975 (Fall) Regents Professor of Mathematics, University of California, Los Angeles
1955-59 U.S. Air Force

Selected Current Professional Activities: President, American Mathematical Society.
Steering Committee of SIAM for Special Interest Group in Discrete Mathematics.
Advisory Committees at Berkeley, Florida, Cornell, Santa Fe Institute.
Program Committee of International Congress of Mathematicians (Kyoto, 1990).
Chairman of Mathematics Section of National Acadamy of Sciences.
Mathematics Advisory Board, New York Academy of Sciences.

Past professional activities include service on many committees of the AMS and many editorial boards in combinatorics, graph theory, computer science, and general mathematics; First Vice-president of the MAA; Chairman of Polya Prize Committee of SIAM; Member of Advisory Panel on Mathematics the ONR; Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, NY Academy of Sciences, American Association for Advancement of Science; Polya Prize for Combinatorics (1972);
Scientist of the Year (Worldbook Encyclopedia, 1981; Allendorfer Award of MAA (1990). Ronald Graham has published many seminal books and papers, and has undoubtedly done more than any other single individual to help dispel the old idea that combinatorics resides in the "slums of topology".

Conference announcement: FQ15 13-17 June 2022, Aubervilliers, France

 https://fq15.telecom-paris.fr/ International Conference on Finite Fields and Their Applications 2022 (Fq15) The conference  Fq15  will take place at Campus Condorcet, Aubervilliers, France (on line 12 of the Paris metro, at one station from the limit of Paris) during the week of June 13-17, 2022. Fq15  will continue the 30-year-old tradition of a forum for researchers on the mathematical aspects of finite fields and their applications.  Scientific Scope Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Theory: structure of finite fields, primitive elements, normal bases, polynomials, number-theoretic aspects of finite fields, character sums, function fields, planar functions and almost perfect nonlinear functions, equations over finite fields. Computation: algorithms and complexity, polynomial factorization, decomposition, and irreducibility testing, sequences and functions. Applications: algebraic coding theory, cryptography, algebraic geometry over finite fields, finite incidence

The award recognizes excellent research by fellows or associate fellows of the ICA early in their research careers.  “She is a leader in her profession, distinguishing herself in organizing conferences, mathematical outreach and teaching excellence,” said the ICA in a release. Huggan joined VIU in August 2022. She completed her PhD in 2019 at Dalhousie University and was a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada post-doctoral fellow at Toronto Metropolitan University from 2019 to 2021. She was an Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences post-doctoral fellow at Mount Allison University from 2021 to 2022. Huggan’s research examines pursuit-evasion games, and her current research r
