Alexanderson Award
The Alexanderson Award recognizes an outstanding scholarly article arising from research activities sponsored by the American Institute of Mathematics and published within the past three years. The award was established in 2018 to honor the contributions of Gerald Alexanderson, Professor of Mathematics at Santa Clara University and founding chair of AIM’s Board of Trustees. As its first chair, Jerry provided the stewardship that has distinguished AIM as an international center for mathematical research with a commitment to productive and creative collaboration.
