From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gizem Karaali is a Professor of Mathematics at Pomona College in Claremont, CA.[1]

Background and education[]

Mathematician Gizem Karaali is originally from Istanbul, Turkey. Her father was an electrical engineer and her mother was a professor of nutrition science.[2] She graduated from UAA (the Üsküdar American Academy) and then went on to Boğaziçi University where she graduated (with honors) in 1997 with undergraduate degrees in electrical engineering and mathematics.[3] Karaali earned her PhD in mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, in 2004. Her dissertation was "r-Matrices on Lie Superalgebras" and her advisors were Nikolai Jurieviç Reshetikhin and Vera V. Serganova.[4] After a two-year postdoctoral position at the University of California, Santa Barbara, she moved on to Pomona College in 2006.[5]

Career[]

Karaali's services to the scholarly and mathematical communities include editorship positions for three journals. She is an Editor of the -- an online, open-access journal that focuses on the connections of mathematics to disciplines in the humanities.[6] She is an Associate Editor[7] for The Mathematical Intelligencer, a journal that offers -- to mathematicians and those outside the field -- articles about mathematics and mathematicians and about the history and culture of mathematics. She also is an Associate Editor[8] for Numeracy -- the open-access, peer-reviewed journal of the National Numeracy Network (NNN). Her Faculty page at Pomona College [1] offers a list of featured and peer reviewed publications and of awarded honors. Her CV[3] includes a more comprehensive list of her activities and publications, including some poetry.

Awards and honors[]

In 2010, Karaali won the Young Investigator Award from the National Security Agency. She stated that she would use the prize winnings to continue her research on Yang-Baxter equations, super quantum groups, and Hopf algebras.[9]

Personal life[]

Karaali is married to mathematician Stephan Ramon Garcia. Together they have two children.[10]
