In particular, the prize is awarded for her papers (1) "Tight closure of parameter ideals", Invent. It is also awarded for her more recent work which builds newīridges between commutative algebra and algebraic geometry via the concept Of the University of Michigan for her outstanding work in commutativeĪlgebra, which has established her as a world leader in the study of tightĬlosure, an important tool in the subject introduced by Hochster and The Ruth Lyttle Satter Prize in Mathematics is awarded to Karen E. Following is the selection committee's citation: This prize is awarded every two years to recognize an outstanding contribution to mathematics research by a woman in the previous five years. Recognition of her work in commutative algebra. Karen Smith was awarded the 2001 Ruth Lyttle Satter Prize in Whom she very much enjoys discussing mathematics, and boy-girl twins, Tapio and Helena, born in 2003. She has a daughter, Sanelma, born in 1998 with Smith is now teaching andĭoing research in algebraic geometry and commutative algebra at the Although she enjoyed Boston and was promoted toĪssistant Professor at MIT, she and her husband moved back to Ann Arbor inġ997, where they had met nine years earlier. Postdoctoral fellowship, she moved to Massachusetts to be a Moore Spending one year working with Craig Huneke at Purdue University on an NSF Under the direction of Professor Melvin Hochester, finishing in 1993. At this point, she decided to make a big change, and went off to theĪt the University of Michigan, Smith wrote a thesis in commutative algebra School and learned that one could actually get full support to work on a Mathematics for a year, she looked into the possibilities of graduate Mathematics in New Jersey public schools. She graduated from Princeton University inġ987 with a major in mathematics and certification to teach high school Mathematician until college, when her freshman calculus teacher, ProfessorĬharles Fefferman, suggested it. ![]() Smith was born in Red Bank, New Jersey, near the Jersey shore.Īlthough she always loved mathematics and wanted to be a mathematicianįrom a young age, she did not realize that one could have a career as a If you drive, the most convenient public parking is in the pay lot whose entrance is on 34th Street between Market and Chestnut Streets.Reprinted with permission from The Notices of the American Mathematical Society, April 2001, Vol. Coming from the airport by train (about 15 minutes): the University City Rail Station is the second stop after you leave the airport. ![]() ![]() We are about a 15 minute walk from the main 30th Street Station and 5 minutes from the University City Rail Station at 32nd and Spruce (=South Street & Convention Avenue).
