Ruth Michele Charney (born 1950)[1] is an American mathematician known for her work in geometric group theory and Artin groups. Other areas of research include K-theory and algebraic topology.[2] She holds the Theodore and Evelyn G. Berenson Chair in Mathematics at Brandeis University. She was in the first group of mathematicians named Fellows of the American Mathematical Society.[3][4] She was in the first group of mathematicians named Fellows of the Association for Women in Mathematics.[5][6] She served as president of the Association for Women in Mathematics during 2013–2015,[7] and served as president of the American Mathematical Society for the 2021–2023 term.[8]
Life
[edit]Charney attended Brandeis University, graduating in mathematics in 1972.[9] She then attended Merce Cunningham Dance Studio for a year, studying modern dance. She received her Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1977 under Wu-Chung Hsiang.[10]
Work
[edit]Following her graduation from Princeton, Charney took a postdoctoral position at University of California, Berkeley, followed by an NSF postdoctoral appointment/assistant professor position at Yale University.[11] She worked for Ohio State University until 2003, when she returned to work at Brandeis University.
Charney served as president of the Association for Women in Mathematics during 2013–2015.[9] She emphasized the importance of encouraging young women in mathematics through summer programs, mentorships, and parental involvement.[12]
She has served as an editor of the journal Algebraic and Geometric Topology from 2000 to 2007.[13][11]
In 2019 she was elected to serve as president of the American Mathematical Society during 2021–2023.[8] She currently serves as the AMS Immediate Past President.[14]
Additionally, she was a member at large for the American Mathematical Society from 1992 to 1994.[15]
Honors
[edit]- In 2013 Charney was named a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in the inaugural class.[3][4]
- In 2017 she was selected as a Fellow of the Association for Women in Mathematics in the inaugural class.[5][6]
