Highlights
NIH/NCI T32 Postdoctoral Fellowship - Jennifer Rangel Ambriz
Many congratulations to Jennifer Rangel Ambriz for receiving a prestigious NIH/NCI T32 Postdoctoral Fellowship. Jennifer, a former UCR Math student advised by Mark Alber, is currently a Postdoctoral Associate at City of Hope. Among her recent publications is the following paper, of which Jennifer is the co-first author:
More information of the paper can also be found in UCR press.
New Faculty - Morgan Weiler
The UCR Math Department proudly announces that Dr. Morgan Weiler joined our department as an Assistant Professor in 2024. Prior to joining UCR, she held postdoctoral positions as RTG Lovett Instructor at Rice University and then as an NSF Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Fellow at Cornell University. She earned both her BA and PhD in Mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley.
Dr. Weiler's work focuses on leveraging symmetry to study the dynamics and embedding properties of low-dimensional symplectic manifolds. At UCR, she plans to develop further computational techniques and to use Reeb dynamics to characterize three-dimensional manifolds.
New Faculty - Siting Liu
The UCR Math Department proudly announces that Dr. Siting Liu joined our department as an Assistant Professor in 2024. Prior to joining UCR, she postdoced as an Assistant Adjunct Professor at University of California, Los Angeles. She earned her BS in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, her MA in Mathematics at University of Wisconsin (Madison), and her PhD in Applied Mathematics at University of California, Los Angeles.
Dr. Liu’s research centers around utilizing mathematical modeling and computational techniques to address challenges spanning a range of disciplines, such as epidemiology, optimization, data science, machine learning, mean-field games, optimal control, and partial differential equations.

New Faculty - Filippo Mazzoli
The UCR Math Department proudly announces that Dr. Filippo Mazzoli joined our department as an Assistant Professor in 2024. Prior to joining UCR he held postdoctoral positions as a Whyburn Research Associate and Lecturer at University of Virginia, as well as a postdoctoral researcher in the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig. He earned both his BS and MS in Mathematics at University of Pisa and his PhD in Mathematics at University of Luxembourg
Dr. Mazzoli works in Geometric Topology and Differential Geometry. He is particularly interested in the study of (higher) Teichmuller spaces, surface group representations, and geometric structures on low-dimensional manifolds, in particular hyperbolic and anti-de Sitter 3-manifolds.

New Faculty - Jeffrey S. Meyer
The UCR Math Department proudly announces that Dr. Jeffrey S. Meyer joined our department as an Assistant Professor of Teaching in 2024. Prior to joining UCR, he was an Associate Professor of Mathematics at California State University, San Bernadino. Previously, he was a Postdoctoral Visiting Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oklahoma. He obtained his BS in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Chicago, and his PhD in Mathematics at the University of Michigan.
Dr. Meyer works at the intersection of differential geometry and number theory, studying arithmetic groups and quadratic forms. This encompasses a wide collection of areas including systolic geometry, spectral geometry, geometric group theory, Lie theory, algebraic number theory, and class field theory. He is intensely interested in research in math education, in particular, theories on learning and teaching of mathematics, especially as they relate to linear algebra.

Associate Professor - Jose Gonzalez
For his excellent research, teaching, mentoring and outreach, the university will promote Dr. Jose Gonzalez to Associate Professor, effective immediately.
Full Professor - Jim Kelliher
For his outstanding research, teaching, mentoring and outreach, the university will promote Dr. Jim Kelliher to Professor, effective immediately.
Associate Professor - Weitao Chen
For her excellent research, teaching, mentoring and outreach, the university will promote Dr. Weitao Chen to Associate Professor, effective July 1st. Dr. Chen works on mathematical biology and scientific computing. She has developed multiple state-of-the-art mathematical models for understanding different biological systems. The Math Department congratulates Dr. Weitao Chen and wishes her continued success in her remarkable career.
Microtutorials
The Microtutorials in Mathematics project team at UCR has conceived a new approach to producing a collection of micro-tutorials as supplementary instructional and learning materials. The intent is to assist the students and instructors to connect calculus with applications in various subject matters. The students could use them freely on any topics of their choice. The videos are produced with follow-up questions to enable instructors to flip their classrooms if desired. For details, please visit its website: https://microtutorials.ucr.edu
Math Alliance: Providing educational success to underrepresented and first-generation students is an important part of UCR's mission.
"Our goal is simple: we want to be sure that every underrepresented or under-served American student with the talent and the ambition has the opportunity to earn a doctoral degree in a mathematical or statistical science."
If you are interested in becoming a Math Alliance Scholar, please feel free to contact Dr. Matthew Durham. The benefits include access to Math Alliances Facilitated Graduate Applications Process and possible funding to go the the Alliance's Field of Dreams conference.
