We are proud to celebrate Department of Mathematics alumnus Blake Jackson, who earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Alabama in 2023 and was featured in Scientific American.
This accomplishment reflects the strong foundation Blake received at UA, particularly through his work with Dr. Kyungyong Lee, as well as the support he received through the GTA Fellowship and UA Alumni Fellowship during his graduate studies.
Congratulations, Blake, on this well-deserved recognition! We are proud to call you a UA Mathematics alumnus and wish you continued success in all that lies ahead. Roll Tide! 🐘
