Young Polish mathematicians, Prof. Adam Kanigowski from the Jagiellonian University and Prof. Jacek Jendrej from the Sorbonne, have been awarded the prestigious European Mathematical Society (EMS) prize.
The EMS prizes, amounting to €5,000, were awarded this year to 10 mathematicians under the age of 35. The awards were presented at the IX European Congress of Mathematics in Seville, which ran from 15-19 July.
Prof Adam Kanigowski, affiliated with the University of Maryland and the Uniwersytet Jagielloński, was honored for his research on chaos in dynamical systems, including the butterfly effect. He manages the flagship project at the Central European Mathematical Research Lab and has received numerous accolades, including awards from the U.S. National Science Foundation, the International Banach Prize, and the Kazimierz Kuratowski Prize.
About the prize:
The EMS prize, established in 1992, honors mathematicians under 35 who have made significant contributions to the field and have European citizenship or work in Europe. It is held every four years, alternating at two-yearly intervals with the International Congress of Mathematicians, at which the illustrious Fields Medal is presented. The prize is considered a precursor to the Fields Medal, the highest honor in mathematics. Notably, 15 of the 80 previous EMS prize winners have gone on to receive the Fields Medal.
