Dr. Jan De Beule awarded the 2022 Hall Medal of the ICA

 

Hall Medals recognize extensive quality research with substantial international impact by Fellows of the ICA in mid-career.

 

Jan De Beule obtained a PhD in Mathematics at Ghent University, Belgium in 2004. He had positions as postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University, at the Research Foundation Flanders in Belgium, and at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Belgium. Since 2020, he is a professor at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB).  His research field concerns finite projective spaces, their substructures, their applications in coding theory, and computer algebra.

 

He is a co-author of over 40 publications in international mathematics journals, one chapter in a book, 3 conference proceedings and was co-editor for 3 edited works. He is co-editor of the book: Current research topics in Galois geometry (NOVA Sci. Publ.), which was specifically written to stimulate research on Galois Geometry. The topics on which he has contributed vary from blocking sets in finite projective spaces and in finite classical polar spaces, partial ovoids and partial spreads in finite classical polar spaces, Cameron-Liebler sets in finite projective spaces, minihypers in finite projective spaces and linear codes meeting the Griesmer bound, to arcs and linear MDS codes, and degree 2 Boolean functions on Grassmann graphs. His most important results include: (1) the non-existence of maximal partial ovoids of size  in the generalized quadrangle , p an odd prime, h > 1, (2) the determination of the size of the largest partial spreads in the Hermitian variety , (3) his work on the MDS conjecture with S. Ball and on other related problems on linear MDS codes, and (4) a new infinite family of Cameron-Liebler line classes in PG(3,q), q º 5 (mod 12) or q º 9 (mod 12), with parameter . The methods he applied to obtain these results include geometrical and polynomial techniques.

 

The Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications is an international scholarly society that was founded in 1990 by Ralph Stanton; the ICA was established for the purpose of promoting the development of combinatorics and of encouraging publications and conferences in combinatorics and its applications.

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
