Congratulations to our group leader Simon Telen on receiving the SIAM Activity Group on Algebraic Geometry Agnes Szanto Early Career Prize.
This prestigious award recognizes his groundbreaking contributions to applied algebraic geometry and computational methods in particle physics, particularly through innovative work on Landau discriminants and their applications.
The official prize ceremony will take place during the SIAM Conference on Applied Geometry in July at the University of Wisconsin, USA.
Awarded every two years, the SIAM Activity Group on Algebraic Geometry Agnes Szanto Early Career Prize honors one exceptional early-career researcher for distinguished contributions to algebraic geometry and its applications, based on papers published in peer-reviewed English-language journals within the three years preceding the award.
SIAM has now published a blog post highlighting his work and career.
Raffaella Mulas, who successfully finished her PhD studies at our institute recently, has been honored in her home of Sardinia with a special award. In 2020 she was declared “Donna di Scienza giovani”.
Congratulations to Ivan Yaroslavtsev! His dissertation on Martingales and Stochastic Calculus in Banach Spaces was awarded the Stieltjes Prize for the best mathematical dissertation published in the academic year 2018/2019 in the Netherlands.
Congratulations to Sven Banisch and Eckehard Olbrich. They have been awarded this year's Anatol Rapoport Prize by the German Society for Sociology for their research on the influence of social feedback on opinion polarization.
