The UB Department of Mathematics is pleased to announce that Professor Barbara Prinari is co-founder and deputy editor of Cambridge Core's Journal of Nonlinear Waves. Prinari's research adds scope and depth to the journal's editorial board. Problems addressed by Prinari include the development of the Inverse Scattering Transform (IST) as a tool to solve the initial-value problem for scalar, vector and matrix continuous and discrete nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equations with both vanishing and nonvanishing boundary conditions at infinity; solitons and rogue wave solutions; vector soliton interactions, etc.  

Hanfeng Li has been named UB Distinguished Professor. His primary research interest is noncommutative geometry and dynamical systems, particularly connections between operator algebras and dynamical systems. A 2020 fellow of the American Mathematical Society (AMS), his recent work concentrates on actions of countable sofic groups and algebraic actions of general countable (amenable) groups. 

Bernard Badzioch has won the 2024 SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching. Dr. Badzioch was recognized for consistently demonstrating superior teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level. As an innovative educator, students remark that Dr. Badzioch has the “rare skill, particularly amongst mathematicians,” to understand even their most incomprehensible questions and answer in a way that makes them feel good for having asked it.
