Education and career

Morey received a B.S. in mathematics with Honors from the University of Missouri in 1990 and a Ph.D. in mathematics from Rutgers University in 1995. Her dissertation The Equations of Rees Algebras of ideals of Low Codimension was supervised by Wolmer Vasconcelos. [2] After receiving her Ph.D., Morey held a postdoctoral position at the University of Texas at Austin. She became an assistant professor at Texas State (then Southwest Texas State University) in 1997. Morey was awarded tenure and promotion to associate professor in 2001 [3] and promotion to full professor in 2010. She became chair of the mathematics department in 2015. [1] She received the Everette Swinney Excellence in Teaching Award from Texas State in 2016. [4]

Morey is known for her work in commutative algebra, in particular, for work on normal rings and algebraic and combinatorial properties of edge ideals of graphs and hypergraphs. Her work is published in the Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra , [5] the Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics , [6] Communications in Algebra , [7] [8] Progress in Commutative Algebra, [9] the Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society , [10] and other journals.

Morey was selected a Fellow of the Association for Women in Mathematics in the Class of 2021 "for inspiring and mentoring several generations of women mathematicians, whom she has helped and encouraged to reach their full potential; and for support of graduate students through the Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation".

Combinatorics is an area of mathematics primarily concerned with counting, both as a means and as an end to obtaining results, and certain properties of finite structures. It is closely related to many other areas of mathematics and has many applications ranging from logic to statistical physics and from evolutionary biology to computer science.

Richard Peter Stanley is an Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. From 2000 to 2010, he was the Norman Levinson Professor of Applied Mathematics. He received his Ph.D. at Harvard University in 1971 under the supervision of Gian-Carlo Rota. He is an expert in the field of combinatorics and its applications to other mathematical disciplines.

Combinatorial commutative algebra is a relatively new, rapidly developing mathematical discipline. As the name implies, it lies at the intersection of two more established fields, commutative algebra and combinatorics, and frequently uses methods of one to address problems arising in the other. Less obviously, polyhedral geometry plays a significant role.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Algebraic combinatorics</span> Area of combinatorics

Algebraic combinatorics is an area of mathematics that employs methods of abstract algebra, notably group theory and representation theory, in various combinatorial contexts and, conversely, applies combinatorial techniques to problems in algebra.

Herbert John Ryser was a professor of mathematics, widely regarded as one of the major figures in combinatorics in the 20th century. He is the namesake of the Bruck–Ryser–Chowla theorem, Ryser's formula for the computation of the permanent of a matrix, and Ryser's conjecture.

In algebra, a commutative ring R is said to be arithmetical if any of the following equivalent conditions hold:

  1. The localization of R at is a uniserial ring for every maximal ideal of R.
  2. For all ideals , and ,

In algebra, the Amitsur–Levitzki theorem states that the algebra of n × n matrices over a commutative ring satisfies a certain identity of degree 2n. It was proved by Amitsur and Levitsky. In particular matrix rings are polynomial identity rings such that the smallest identity they satisfy has degree exactly 2n.

In algebra, a Mori domain, named after Yoshiro Mori by Querré, is an integral domain satisfying the ascending chain condition on integral divisorial ideals. Noetherian domains and Krull domains both have this property. A commutative ring is a Krull domain if and only if it is a Mori domain and completely integrally closed. A polynomial ring over a Mori domain need not be a Mori domain. Also, the complete integral closure of a Mori domain need not be a Mori domain.

Siamak Yassemi is an Iranian mathematician and is currently the Dean of Faculty of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science, University of Tehran, Iran. He has found basic techniques that have played important roles in the field homological algebra. His recent works have established relationships between monomial ideals in commutative algebra and graphs in combinatorics, which have stimulated the development of the new interdisciplinary field combinatorial commutative algebra. Member of the Academy of Sciences of the Islamic Republic of Iran, he has received the COMSTECH International Award, the 22nd Khwarizmi International Award in Basic Science and the International Award from Tehran University, among others. He was the vice president of the University College of Sciences at the University of Tehran for more than three years, ending in 2007. He was the head of the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences for more than two years. In 2015 he started to act as the head of the school of Mathematics, statistics and computer sciences at the University of Tehran. In 2018 he was elected by The World Academy of Sciences as a fellow member. That would make him the first Iranian mathematician who's ever been a member of TWAS. In 2019 he was named Chevalier of the Ordre des Palmes Académiques for distinguished effort on extended multi-dimensional cooperation, including scientific research projects (Jundi-Shapur), student-and professor- exchanges, and several schools and conferences.
