William Reynolds, the William Walker Professor of Mathematics at Tufts University, has served as a scholar, teacher, and administrator for over 41 years. His career spans roles from Assistant Professor (1957) to Associate Professor (1960) and Professor (1967), during which he played a pivotal role in establishing Tufts' graduate program in Mathematics.
- Education
- B.A. (summa cum laude) from the College of the Holy Cross
- Ph.D. from Harvard University under Richard Brauer
Reynolds specializes in the representation theory of finite groups, with foundational contributions to blocks in groups and their subgroups, projective representations (including spin representations applied in mathematical physics), and the interplay between isometries and characters. His work has influenced peers and extended representation theory to algebraic number fields.
Reynolds' publications, including 24 papers in premier mathematics journals, reflect his expertise. His 2019 article in the Journal of Algebra remains his most recent known work.
