Michelle Ann Manes is an American mathematician whose research interests span the fields of number theory, algebraic geometry, and dynamical systems. She is a professor of mathematics at the University of Hawaii at Manoa,[1] and a program director for algebra and number theory at the National Science Foundation.[2][3]

Education and career

Manes graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1991, and earned a master's degree in deaf education at Boston University in 1993, with a concentration in mathematics education. She worked in various capacities in the Boston area as a mathematics educator from 1993 to 2003, when she returned to graduate studies.[1] She completed a second master's degree in mathematics in 2004 and a Ph.D. in 2007 at Brown University; her dissertation, Arithmetic dynamics of rational maps, was supervised by Joseph H. Silverman.[1][4] After a short-term position at the University of Southern California, she joined the University of Hawaii faculty in 2008.[1]

Continuing her interest in mathematics education, Manes co-founded the Math Teachers’ Circle of Hawai‘i (MaTCH) in 2010.[5][6][7]

Recognition

In 2015, Manes won the Golden Section Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics of the Mathematical Association of America,[8] and in 2017 she won the Regents’ Medal for Excellence in Teaching of the University of Hawaii.[9][10]

Also in 2017, the Association for Women in Mathematics gave her their Service Award.[11]
