Annual prize in mathematics
The Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize is an annual prize in mathematics, awarded by the Association for Women in Mathematics to honor outstanding research by a female mathematician who has recently earned tenure. The prize funds the winner to spend a semester as a visiting faculty member at Cornell University, working with the faculty there and presenting a distinguished lecture on their research.[1][2] It is named after Ruth I. Michler (1967–2000), a German-American mathematician born at Cornell, who died in a road accident at the age of 33.[3]
