Symposium 36 – Liberty Bell, 2012
SUMMER SYMPOSIUM IN REAL ANALYSIS XXXIV
"The Liberty Bell Symposium"
Pennsylvania State University
June 25-30, 2012
The Thirty-Sixth Summer Symposium in Real Analysis (The Liberty Bell Symposium) was hosted by Penn State University -- Berks and the Real Analysis Exchange , June 25 - 30, 2012. The Editorial Board of the EXCHANGE wishes to express its gratitude to the administration, faculty and staff of Penn State-- Berks for their gracious hospitality and to the conference director and local organizer, Ali Alikhani-Koopai , for his outstanding leadership in organizing and conducting this symposium. Your tireless attention to detail was critical to creating the intellectually stimulating environment of the conference. Thank you! In addition to the formal mathematical program, time was set aside for research collaboration and a quite exciting Saturday afternoon problem session. On Thursday afternoon, the symposium participants travelled to Philadelphia for a tour of the historic districts, highlighted by a visit to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. This years ``ANDY'' was awarded to a shocked but grateful Hajrudin Fejzić . Congratulations, Hajrudin!
The conference featured invited one-hour addresses by:
ZOLTÁN BUCZOLICH
Zoltán Buczolich received his Ph. D., and completed his Habilitation, at the prestigious Eötvös Lorand University in Hungary. His thesis was written under the direction of Miklós Laczkovich. Professor Buczolich has been a member of the Mathematical Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and a member of the Mathematical Jury of the Hungarian National Science Foundation.
Professor Buczolich has collaborated with many mathematicians, including J-P Kahane, D. Mauldin, and A. Olevski. In particular, in 2005 he solved the long-standing Gradient Problem, first posed by Clifford Weil in 1990. Professor Buczolich has also collaborated with I. Assani, R. Daniel, U. Darji, A. Máthé, S. Seuret and many others in the fields of Classical Real Analysis, Measures on Fractals and Ergodic theory.
Professor Buczolich has had Lectureships at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Michigan State University, and the University of North Texas and several visiting research positions including the University of Paris. He is currently Associate Professor of Mathematics at Eötvös Lorand University.
EMMA D'ANIELLO
Emma D'Aniello received her Ph.D. from the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II in 1999 and is currently an Associate Professor of Analysis at the Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli.
She has served as Van Vleck Visiting Scholar in Mathematics by the Department of Mathematics of Wesleyan University, as Visiting Scholar at Washington and Lee University in Virginia and Visiting Researcher at the Instituto Superior Tècnico of Lisbon. She served as the Scientific Co-Coordinator of the research project group, GNAMA in 2001 and is currently the Scientific Co-Coordinator of the "Dynamical Systems, Fluidynamics and Symmetrization" project in Campania.
Professor D'Aniello has written extensively in the areas of Classical Real Analysis, Geometric Measure Theory and Dynamical Systems.
YANG WANG
Yang Wang received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1990 under the direction of David Mumford. He has written extensively on a wide swath of topics including Classical Real Analysis, Harmonic Analysis, Fractal Geometry and Tilings as well as Digital Processing and Supply Chain Management. His research career has been characterized by strong and continuous financial support from a variety of funding agencies including the National Science Foundation.
Currently Head of the Department of Mathematics at Michigan State University, Professor Wang has maintained a vibrant enthusiasm for classroom teaching and has been nominated for several teaching awards. He maintains an extensive speaking schedule and has given almost 200
as well as twenty-nine contributed talks. Following the participant list is the program of the Symposium, and then the summaries of the talks. The editorial board of the EXCHANGE wishes to thank the speakers for preparing these summaries.
