Faculty Awards for Women:Mathematical Sciences: Stochastic Processes and Applications

女性科学家和工程师学院奖颁发给加州大学圣地亚哥分校数学系的露丝·J·威廉姆斯博士。威廉姆斯博士将继续致力于概率研究，特别是随机过程的研究。到目前为止，她的主要重点是多维扩散及其在物理、生物和社会科学以及工程中的应用。她计划研究随机积分方程和非线性偏微分方程组及其与随机过程的联系。NSF女性教师奖表彰了获奖者在教学和学术方面的高质量记录，以及继续为科学研究、学术职业和未来科学家的教育做出重大贡献的潜力。威廉姆斯博士将继续她在概率论领域中的随机过程方面的工作。特别值得注意的是，她被任命为一家领先的概率杂志的副主编。

This Faculty Award for Women Scientists and Engineers is made to Dr. Ruth J. Williams of the Department of Mathematics, University of California, San Diego. Dr. Williams will continue working in her research interest in probability, specifically on stochastic processes. Her primary focus to date has been on multidimensional diffusions and their applications in physical, biological and social sciences, as well as in engineering. She plans to investigate stochastic integral equations and nonlinear PDE's and their connection with stochastic processes. The NSF Faculty Award for Women recognizes the high quality of the awardee's record in teaching and scholarship as well as potential for continued significant contributions to scientific research, the academic profession, and the education of future scientists. Dr. Williams will continue her work on stochastic processes, an area of probability theory. Particulary noteworthy is her appointment to an Associate Editorship to a leading journal of probability.
