This award is made as part of the FY 2014 Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships Program. Each of the fellowships supports a research and training project at a host institution in the mathematical sciences, including applications to other disciplines, under the mentorship of a sponsoring scientist. The title of the project for this fellowship to Aaron M. Silberstein is "New Techniques in Anabelian Geometry and Applications to Algebraic Cycles and Rigidity in Complex Algebraic Geometry." The host institution for the fellowship is the University of Chicago, and the sponsoring scientist is Dr. Madhav Nori.
