Susan Montgomery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Susan Montgomery (born 2 April 1943 in Lansing, MI) is a mathematician whose current research interests concern noncommutative algebras: in particular, Hopf algebras, their structure and representations, and their actions on other algebras. Her early research was on group actions on rings.

Education

Montgomery received her B.A. from the University of Michigan in 1965 and an S.M. in Mathematics from the University of Chicago in 1966. She continued her doctoral work at Chicago under I. N. Herstein and wrote a dissertation entitled Lie Structures for Characteristic 2. She was awarded a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Chicago in 1969.

Career

Upon receiving her Ph.D. from Chicago, Montgomery spent one year on the faculty at DePaul University. Montgomery joined the faculty of the University of Southern California (USC) in 1970 and was promoted to the rank of Professor in 1982. Montgomery has also spent sabbaticals at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the University of Leeds, the University of Wisconsin, the University of Munich, the University of New South Wales, the Mittag-Leffler Institute, and Mathematical Sciences Research Institute.

Honors

In 1984 she was named a Fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation[1] in 1984, and was awarded a Raubenheimer Outstanding Faculty Award by USC in 1987.

She has given an American Mathematical Society Invited Address at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in 1984 and at a sectional meeting in 2005. In 2009, she gave a plenary lecture at the summer meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society.[2] She has also given numerous lectures at meetings and universities around the world.

Montgomery was the Principle Lecturer at the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences 1992 Conference on Hopf Algebras, and her CBMS monograph Hopf Algebras and their Actions on Rings[3] has been cited 771 times on MathSciNet.[4] She has written two other books and has edited four collections of research articles.

In 1995 she gave an invited address Hopf algebras in categories at the International Joint Mathematics Meeting in Jerusalem.[5]

She served as an editor for the Journal of Algebra for over 20 years. She was also an editor for the AMS Proceedings, AMS Mathematical Surveys and Monographs, and Advances in Mathematics, and currently is on the editorial boards of Algebras and Representation Theory[6] and of Algebra and Number Theory.[7]

She has been very active in the American Mathematical Society, serving on the Board of Trustees from 1986–1996.[8] She has also served on the Council, the Policy Committee on Publications,[9] and on the Nominating Committee.[10] In 2013 she was elected to a 3-year term as a Vice-President of the American Math Society. [11] She was also a member of the Board on Mathematical Sciences (BMS), serving one year on the Executive Committee.

Montgomery has been active in the Association for Women in Mathematics for 35 years. She was a member of the Executive Committee from 1975–1976. She served on the Nominating Committee in 1982 (as chair) and again in 2009.[12] In 2011 she was selected to deliver the Association for Women in Mathematics Noether Lecture.[13] The title of her talk was Orthogonal Representations: From Groups to Hopf Algebras.[14]

In 2012 she was elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society[15][16] and a Fellow of the AAAS.[17][18] She was chair of the Department of Mathematics at USC from 1996 to 1999.[19]
