  The Bulletin of the ICA seeks a volunteer to be our News Editor. 

Why a News Editor?

 
The Bulletin of the ICA brings its members entertaining and informative conference reports; conference announcements; reports about presentations to ICA medallists; and updates from members, among others. 

The ICA is a society that is geographically diverse, one that spans many research emphases; these are great strengths. Newsworthy things happen in the ICA community regularly, but some go unreported.

 Perhaps a member is unsure how and to whom they can report. Perhaps a member assumes that someone else is already writing a conference report. 

We need a News Editor to coordinate the solicitation and collection of news to inform – and sometimes amuse – our readers. 


What does a News Editor do? 

The News Editor will
• serve as the first point-of-contact for news items of all kinds,
• proactively seek news items from conference organizers or attendees, ICA-sponsored activities, and ICA members, and
• coordinate the preparation of these news items for the Bulletin. 


How could one News Editor possibly do this? Enlist a band of roving reporters who collectively represent the great diversity of our membership. Volunteer — and make the world a better place! 

Are you interested in being the News Editor? A roving reporter? Or do you have questions before you decide? Do you have suggestions about news that should be reported? 

Please email the ICA President, Charlie Colbourn.

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 f...

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 game...
