Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox scientist Chelsea Walton is a mathematician whose research interests include noncommutative algebra, noncommutative algebraic geometry, symmetry in quantum mechanics, Hopf algebras, and quantum groups. She is an associate professor at Rice University and a Sloan Research Fellow.Шаблон:R

Education and career

Walton is African-American,Шаблон:R originally from Detroit, Michigan,Шаблон:R and was educated in the Detroit public schools.Шаблон:R As a child she made a letter frequency table from her children's dictionary,Шаблон:R and as a high school student, seeking a way to "do logic puzzles all day and get paid for this",Шаблон:R she was already planning a career as a mathematics professor.Шаблон:R

She graduated from Michigan State University in 2005,Шаблон:R and completed her Ph.D. at the University of Michigan in 2011. Her dissertation, On Degenerations and Deformations of Sklyanin Algebras,[1] was jointly supervised by Шаблон:Ill and Karen E. Smith,Шаблон:R and based in part on her work as a visiting student at the University of Manchester, where Stafford had moved.Шаблон:R

Walton did postdoctoral research at the University of Washington and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, and became a C. L. E. Moore instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 2012 to 2015.Шаблон:R She came to Temple University as Selma Lee Bloch Brown Assistant Professor of Mathematics in 2015 Шаблон:R. She moved to the University of Illinois in 2018.Шаблон:R She joined the faculty at Rice University in 2020.Шаблон:R

Recognition

Walton was named a Sloan Fellow in 2017, becoming the fourth African-American to win a Sloan Fellowship in mathematics.Шаблон:R Walton was also recognized by Mathematically Gifted & Black as a Black History Month 2017 Honoree.Шаблон:R In 2018 she won the André Lichnerowicz Prize in Poisson geometry, the first woman to be awarded this prize.Шаблон:R The award citation noted her research on Sklyanin algebras in Poisson geometry, on the actions of Hopf algebras, and on the universal enveloping algebra of the Witt algebra.Шаблон:R
