Anne Penfold Street
Early life and education
Street was born on 11 October 1932 in
At Illinois, Street took up mathematics again.[7] After moving to Mildura and then returning to Urbana, she completed her doctorate at the University of Illinois in 1966, with a dissertation on group theory supervised by Michio Suzuki.[8][9][10]
Career
After earning her doctorate, Street became a lecturer at the University of Queensland in 1967. While continuing to hold this position, she took a year of postdoctoral research at the University of Alberta, and on her return to Queensland in 1970 was promoted to senior lecturer, promoted again to reader in 1975, and given a personal chair as professor in 1985.[6][7][8] At Queensland, she directed the Centre for Discrete Mathematics and Computing from its formation in 1998 until 2004.[8] She has also held visiting positions at the
Service to mathematics
Street became the founding editor-in-chief of the Australasian Journal of Combinatorics in 1990, and continued to serve as editor-in-chief until 2001.[4][8] She helped found the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications (ICA), became one of its founding fellows, and served as an editor of the Bulletin of the ICA from its founding in 1991 until 2014.[7][8][10] She was president of the ICA from 1996 to 2002.[4][7][8] She was the founding president of the Combinatorial Mathematics Society of Australasia, for the 1997–1998 term.[4][7] She also served as President of the Australian Mathematical Olympiad Committee from 1996 to 2001.[7][8]
Awards and honours
The
The Anne Penfold Street Awards of the Australian Mathematical Society, an initiative to provide family care for traveling mathematicians, are named after her.[2][3][7] Beginning in 2016, the best student paper award from the annual Australasian Conference on Combinatorial Mathematics and Combinatorial Computing (ACCMCC) became known as the CMSA Anne Penfold Street Student Prize.[8]
Personal
Street's daughter,
Street died on 28 December 2016.[4][7]
