Description
The Stefan Bergman Fellowship is administered by the American Mathematical Society (AMS) to advance the research portfolio of an early-career mathematician specializing in real analysis, complex analysis, or partial differential equations. Established in 2023, it was the society’s first fellowship specifically for early-career mathematicians.
The fellowship provides flexible support that recipients may use in whatever way most effectively enables their research. Examples include release time, participation in special research programs, travel support, and childcare. It honors Stefan Bergman, known for his work in several complex variables and for the Bergman projection and Bergman kernel function, and was established with proceeds from the Stefan Bergman Trust.
