News: Ph.D. students Christopher (CJ) Bott and Jordy Cheyem Lopez-García both recently defended their Theses and are on their way to postdocs at Brigham Young and Notre Dame, respectively. I was recently elected as a member of the 2025 class of Fellows of the SIAM, and as a member of the 2024 class of Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The College of Arts and Science has an article about these fellowships Another short piece. I am sorry to announce that my old friend and collaborator Vicki Powers died at the end of February. Read her husband Colm's trubute to her. I am helping to organize a program at the IPAM on Numerical Algebraic Geometry and Correlated Electrons: Generalized Grassmannians, Response Functions and Excited States. This will occur from 8 March to 11 June 2027.
