Michael Usher, associate professor of mathematics, is recognized for his breakthrough development of a new tool known as “boundary depth,” which helps mathematicians working in the field of symplectic geometry better understand the intricacies of an important geometric space known as the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. While Usher’s contributions are in pure mathematics, the field of symplectic geometry was born from and is strongly tied to applications in physics.

SEAM 2015 - The 31st Southeastern Analysis Meeting

University of Georgia

March 8-10, 2015 (Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday Morning)

The Southeastern Analysis Meeting (SEAM) is one of the leading annual conferences on analysis, has a rich history and has had a sustained run of 30 meetings held every year since 1985 at various universities in the Southeast. The research areas of the conference have focused on complex analysis, harmonic analysis, and operator theory.
