🎉 Big congratulations to Bex Nelson on receiving the 2026 Tanner Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching by Graduate Teaching Assistants! 🎉

Recognized for outstanding dedication to undergraduate education and glowing student recommendations, Bex continues to make a lasting impact in the classroom and beyond.

As a member of the Graduate Student Experience Initiative TA Training Work Group, Bex helps strengthen teaching development for graduate students across the university. They’ve also taught Calculus I and II during three summer terms at Duke University and currently serve as the Department of Mathematics Teaching Fellow.

We are incredibly proud to have Bex as part of our department. Please join us in celebrating this well-deserved achievement!

🎉 Congratulations to Professor Casey Rodriguez! 🎉

The Department of Mathematics is thrilled to celebrate Professor Rodriguez for receiving the 2026 William C. Friday Award for Excellence in Teaching!

Selected through a review process — including student evaluations, interviews, and committee recommendations — Professor Rodriguez stood out for his outstanding contributions to undergraduate education and the enthusiastic praise from students and colleagues alike.

We are incredibly proud to have him in our department and grateful for the energy, passion, and excellence he brings to our classrooms every day. ✨📚

Graduate students Kaitlyn Hohmeier and Aaron Jacobson traveled to Washington, D.C., in January as part of the Joint Mathematics Meetings to advocate for sustained federal investment in mathematical sciences!

Alongside 293 mathematical scientists from 47 states, they met with congressional staff and members of Congress to highlight how research funding expands undergraduate opportunities, broadens access to STEM pathways, and strengthens the U.S. STEM workforce.

Representing North Carolina’s 4th Congressional District, they met with staff from Senators Ted Budd and Thom Tillis’ offices and spoke in person with Representative Valerie Foushee. Kaitlyn took time to share with them how her NSF Graduate Research Fellowship has supported her graduate education and research—demonstrating the real impact of federal investment in STEM.

We’re proud to see our students advocating for the future of mathematics and innovation!

Professors Philip Tosteson and Casey Rodriguez have received Junior Faculty Development Awards from the Office of the Provost, selected from an exceptionally strong applicant pool.

🔹 Prof. Tosteson’s work explores deep connections between topology and number theory, applying moduli spaces of rational curves to arithmetic questions about cubic equations.

🔹 Prof. Rodriguez is developing a new mathematical theory of elastic solids, inspired by acoustic metamaterials, using non-dissipative energy models to understand stress–strain behavior.

🎉The Department of Mathematics congratulates both faculty members on this well-deserved achievement!
