Caroline Turnage-Butterbaugh, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, has been awarded a CAREER grant (#2239681) from the National Science Foundation for her project “Research in and Pathways to Analytic Number Theory.” The NSF describes the Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) program as “a Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science Foundation’s most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization.”
Throughout the five-year period, Prof. Turnage-Butterbaugh will conduct research focusing on long-standing open problems in analytic number theory. In addition to the research objectives, she will author “Pathway Projects” to provide novel, comprehensive guides to areas of active research in analytic number theory, and implement an educational program to work with Carleton students at the beginning of their college level mathematical training.
