 Dr. Juan Meza, department head of the High Performance
Computing Research Department at Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory, was awarded the Blackwell-Tapia Prize November 14,
2008. The prize is named after David Blackwell and Richard
Tapia, two influential figures who inspired a generation of
African-American, Native American and Latino/Latina students to
pursue careers in mathematics. The award recognizes a
mathematical scientist who has contributed significantly to
research and who has served as a role model for mathematical
scientists and students from under-represented minority groups.
Dr. Meza received the award as a result of his exceptionally
distinguished record as a mathematical scientist, an
accomplished and effective head of a large department doing
cutting-edge explorations in the computational sciences,
computational mathematics, and future technologies, and a role
model and active advocate for others from groups
under-represented in the mathematical sciences.
Dr. Meza served on the IMA Board of Governors from January 1999
to December 2001. He has also provided scientific leadership
to the IMA by organizing workshops, most recently, the
September 2008 workshop on Electronic Structures.

 Margaret Wright, a member of the IMA Board
of Governors since 2005, was awarded an honorary PhD degree by
the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm on
November 21. A Professor at New York University, Wright has
made major contributions to applied mathematics, especially in
the fields of optimization and scientific computing. She has
also worked to include more women in the mathematical sciences.
The Board of Governors consists of 15 distinguished
mathematical scientists from academia, industry, and government
laboratories. It provides oversight and direction for all
major aspects of the organization.
Wright is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. She
completed her doctoral degree in computer science at Stanford
University in 1976 and stayed here until 1988. Between 1988 and
2000, she worked at Bell Laboratories and then moved on to the
Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York
University in 2001 as Professor and Chair of the Computer
Science Department.
