The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) have chosen Margaret Cheney to give the prestigious Sonia Kovalevsky Lecture at the 2013 SIAM Annual Meeting, which will be held in San Diego this summer. Dr. Cheney, a professor of mathematics at Colorado State University, participated in IPAM’s 2003 long program on Inverse Problems, and in 2012, helped organize a very successful workshop on Synthetic Aperture Radar. She is also a visiting research professor at the Naval Postgraduate School.
