The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) has named five mathematicians as 2026 AWM Fellows, one of them being Jennifer K. Ryan, Professor at the Division Head for Numerical Analysis, Optimization and Systems Theory at KTH, and member of Digital Futures Faculty.
Furthermore, Jennifer is also elected member-at-large to the SIAM council, which was recently announced in the SIAM News Blog.
Jennifer is nominated “for outstanding and sustained commitment to advancing women in numerical analysis and scientific computing through inclusive leadership, impactful mentorship, service on committees at AWM and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), and community-building efforts including organizing workshops that build collaborative networks, mentoring early career researchers, and championing diversity initiatives across institutions and international networks.”

The AWM Executive Committee established the Fellows Program to recognize members who have
demonstrated a sustained commitment to the support and advancement of women in the mathematical sciences, consistent with the AWM mission: “to create a community in which women and girls can thrive in their mathematical endeavors, and to promote equitable opportunity and treatment of women and others of marginalized genders and gender identities across the mathematical sciences.”
