The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) announced their 2026 Class of SIAM Fellows. These distinguished members were nominated in recognition of their outstanding research and service to the community. One of the 25 new fellows is Heather Harrington, director at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) and the Center for Systems Biology Dresden (CSBD) and professor at the University of Oxford. She is being recognized for her outstanding contributions to the development of new topological and algebraic methods and their applications to mathematical biology.

Congratulations, Heather!

Through their various contributions, SIAM Fellows form a crucial group of individuals helping to advance the fields of applied mathematics, computational science, and data science. The new fellows will be recognized during a reception at the 2026 SIAM Annual Meeting in Cleveland, USA, in July 2026. In addition to raising the visibility of applied mathematics, computational science, and data science, the SIAM Fellows Program enhances the prospects of SIAM members for receiving awards and honors and securing leadership positions in the broader society.
