AMS-AAAS Congressional Fellowship
AMS Announces Congressional FellowThe American Mathematical Society (AMS) is pleased to announce that Katherine Crowley has been chosen as the AMS Congressional Fellow for 2009-2010.
The AMS will sponsor Katherine's fellowship through the Congressional Fellowship program administered by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The fellowship is designed to provide a unique public policy learning experience, to demonstrate the value of science-government interaction, and to bring a technical background and external perspective to the decision-making process in Congress. Fellows spend a year working on the staff of a Member of Congress or a congressional committee, working as a special legislative assistant in legislative and policy areas requiring scientific and technical input. The fellowship program includes an orientation on congressional and executive branch operations, and a year-long seminar series on issues involving science, technology and public policy. Katherine Crowley was chosen from among several very competitive applications. She earned her Ph.D. in Mathematics from Rice University after completing her thesis entitled Discrete Morse Theory and the Geometry of Nonpositively Curved Simplicial Complexes. She is currently working as an assistant professor of mathematics at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia.
