Four members of Microsoft Research have been named to the inaugural list of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society (AMS), announced in November.

Digital pathology helps decode tumor microenvironments for precision immunotherapy. GigaPath is a novel vision transformer that can scale to gigapixel whole-slide images by adapting dilated attention for digital pathology. In joint work with Providence and UW, we’re sharing Prov-GigaPath, the first whole-slide pathology foundation model pretrained on large-scale real-world data, for advancing clinical research and discovery.

Upon learning of the award, Chayes made comments certainly shared by her colleagues newly anointed with AMS Fellowship.

“I’m thrilled that several of my Microsoft Research colleagues and I have been recognized in the inaugural class of AMS Fellows,” she said. “Many deep questions in mathematics have originated in computer science and technology, and, conversely, mathematics increasingly contributes to breakthroughs in technology.”

The AMS Fellowships provide recognition to members who have made outstanding contributions to the creation, exposition, advancement, communication, and utilization of mathematics.

Microsoft Research certainly values the contributions of its researchers named to the inaugural class of AMS Fellows. Congratulations to all!
