Personal Profile of Dr. Ruth Charney
Ruth Charney is Professor of Mathematics at Brandeis University. She received her PhD from Princeton University in 1977 and held a postdoctoral position at UC Berkeley followed by an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship at Yale. She spent 18 years as a member of the Ohio State University Mathematics Department before returning to Brandeis University, her undergraduate alma mater, in 2003. In addition, she has held visiting positions at the IAS in Princeton, the IHES in Paris, and the ETH in Zurich. Ruth is interested in the interplay between topology and algebra. Her research spans several areas of mathematics, including K-theory, algebraic topology, and her current area of interest, geometric group theory. She was recently named a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society. Ruth is involved in a variety of professional activities. She has served as a Vice President of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and is currently on the AMS Board of Trustees. She has also served as a member of the U.S. National Committee for Mathematics, and as an editor of the journal Algebraic and Geometric Topology. Many of her professional activities are aimed at encouraging and mentoring women in mathematics. Effective February 2013, she will become the next President of the Association for Women in Mathematics. For additional information see: http://people.brandeis.edu/~charney |
