Deborah Frank Lockhart is a mathematician known for her work with the National Science Foundation.
Career[edit]
Lockhart graduated in 1965 from the Bronx High School of Science.[1] She received her BS in mathematics from New York University,[2] and went on to receive her Ph.D. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the area of continuum mechanics.[3]
Lockhart went on to work at SUNY Geneseo before moving to Michigan Technological University in 1976.[2] She began working as a program director at the National Science Foundation in 1988, later becoming a deputy division director and acting division director before, in 2016, being named deputy assistant director of the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.[4]
Awards and honors[edit]
In 2012, Lockhart became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[5] Also that year, she became a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[6] She is also the 2021 recipient of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Prize for Distinguished Service to the Profession.[7]
