Career

I was honored to receive the 2026 George Cotter Award for Vision and Leadership in the Field of Data Analytics at CLASSIC 2026, held October 19-22, 2026, in Annapolis, Maryland.

I have been elected to the American Mathematical Society (AMS) Nominating Committee for a three-year term, 2027–2029.

As March 1st, I am serving as the (Interim) SIAM Vice President for Publications.

The 2025 SIAM Prize for Distinguished Service to the Profession is awarded to Tamara G. Kolda in recognition of her extensive leadership and service to multiple applied mathematics communities.

As my tenure as founding Editor-in-Chief comes to a close (SIAM wisely has term limits), I want to take a moment to reflect on the launch of the SIAM Journal on Mathematics of Data Science (SIMODS). I am grateful to the authors, reviewers, editorial board members, and SIAM staff who have contributed to the success of the journal. I am proud of the journal’s achievements and excited to turn over the reins to the new Editor-in-Chief, Misha Belkin.

I am happy to announce that I am now part of the editorial board of Information and Inference: A Journal of the IMA. This journal publishes high quality articles that advance the mathematical understanding of information and data analysis. The articles cover a wide range of topics, such as: information theory, statistical inference, network analysis, numerical analysis, learning theory, applied and computational harmonic analysis, probability, combinatorics, signal processing, and high-dimensional geometry.

I’ve moved my social network activity to Mathstadon.
