He was also a Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar during the 2019-2020 term.
Su received his B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Texas, graduating Phi Beta Kappa in 1989. He went on to receive his Ph.D. from Harvard University, where his advisor was Persi Diaconis. His research area is combinatorics, and he is particularly known for his work on fair division.
Su and Michael Starbird are co-authors of the book “Topology Through Inquiry”. His book, “Mathematics for Human Flourishing”, was released on January 7th, 2020. The latter book is based on his speech of the same title, delivered Jan. 6, 2017 at the Joint Math Meetings. He won the Halmos-Ford Award for Distinguished Writing in 2018 for that speech. Three of his articles have been featured on “The Princeton Anthology of the Best Writing in Mathematics” in the years 2011, 2014, and 2018. In 2021 he received the Euler Book Prize jointly with Christopher Jackson.
Since there are so many fun and delicious restaurants nearby, we thought these would be great places to hang out with each other during our social hour! Included are some of the different places you can kick back, relax, and enjoy a nice drink with some friends!
