  • Reed Oei stands near a black tiled wall.

    “He Taught Us How to Live Well”

    People who knew Reed Oei often described him as a star.  “Reed was the most determined person I ever met,” said Christopher Settles, a frequent collaborator of Reed’s. Phillipp Hieronymi, former director of the Illinois Geometry Lab, described Reed as “a brilliant and exceptional student and researcher.” Yet somehow, simply calling Reed a star feels like a cosmic understatement. From the moment...

    Alumni Spotlight: Alexander Dunn helps solve centuries-long mathematical mystery

    Where this story truly begins is difficult to say. It could be somewhere in the early nineteenth century, when mathematician Ernst Eduard Kummer began experimenting with cubic Gauss sums, leading him to record a conjecture that would remain open for more than 150 years. Or perhaps this story...
