American mathematician

Naomi G. Jochnowitz is an American mathematician interested in algebraic number theory. She is an associate professor of mathematics at the University of Rochester.[1]

Jochnowitz earned her Ph.D. in 1976 from Harvard University. Her dissertation, Congruences Between Modular Forms and Implications for the Hecke Algebra, was supervised by Barry Mazur.[2] At Rochester, she is known for her enthusiastic encouragement and support for incoming students to participate in the mathematics program, which contributed to a tripled number of mathematics majors from 1999 to 2002.[3]

In 2016, Jochnowitz won the M. Gweneth Humphreys Award of the Association for Women in Mathematics for her mentorship of mathematics students and particularly of women in mathematics.[4] She was also listed as a finalist for the "W" Award of the Rochester Women's Network for her mentorship of women in mathematics.[5] In 2018 she became one of the inaugural Fellows of the Association for Women in Mathematics.[6]
