- Dr. Vishaal Kapoor: "Dr. Kapoor investigated several problems in the field of number theory. He proved a theorem that allows for a better understanding of the behavior of a multiplicative function. His theorem applies to a broad class of functions in an area where few results are known." (November 2011)
- Dr. Michele Klaus: "Dr. Klaus studied the symmetries of Spheres. This brought to the surface deep and beautiful connections between algebra and geometry. These interplays can be further exploited to better understand both algebra and geometry." (November 2011)
- Dr. Frank De Zeeuw: "Dr. De Zeeuw studied applications of algebra and algebraic geometry to discrete geometry." (November 2011)
- Dr. Hardeep Singh Gill: "Dr. Gill studied a mathematical process which could be used to model the aggregate motion of a large number of randomly branching particles which also move randomly. His research could model, for example, a population of oceanic plankton during an algal bloom." (November 2011)
- Dr. Alexander Rhys Duncan: "Dr. Duncan studied essential dimension, an important invariant of algebraic objects. His work sheds light on classical problems in algebra including the Noether problem, inverse Galois theory and Hilbert's thirteenth problem." (November 2011)
