Candice Renee Price is an African-American mathematician and co-founder of the website Mathematically Gifted & Black, which features the contributions of modern-day black mathematicians.[1] She is an advocate for women and people of color in STEM.[2]
Research
[edit]Price's area of mathematical research is DNA topology.[3]
Career
[edit]Price obtained a bachelor's degree in Mathematics from California State University, Chico in 2003, and a master's degree from San Francisco State University in 2007.[3] She earned her doctoral degree in Mathematics from the University of Iowa in 2012, under the advisement of Isabel Darcy.[4]
She is currently an Associate Professor at Smith College.[3] She was previously an Assistant Professor at the University of San Diego[5] and at West Point (United States Military Academy).[6]
Price is one of the founding organizers of the Underrepresented Students in Topology and Algebra Research Symposium (USTARS), an annual multi-day symposium started in 2011 that features the research of algebra and topology graduate students, as well as providing career and professional development opportunities.[7]
In 2017, Price, along with Erica Graham, Raegan Higgins, and Shelby Wilson, started the website Mathematically Gifted & Black, which, coinciding with Black History Month, highlights the life and works of a modern-day Black mathematician every day in February.[1]
Awards and honors
[edit]Price was a 2013 MAA Project NExT fellow.[8] For her work on Mathematically Gifted & Black, she was awarded the 2022 Presidential Recognition Award[9] of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM).
She co-delivered an invited plenary address at the 2021 National Math Festival.[10] She delivered a Mathematical Association of America (MAA) invited lecture at MathFest 2021.[11]
