Jozsef Solymosi (University of British Columbia) and Jonathan Taylor (Université de Montréal) Recipients of the 2008 André-Aisenstadt Prize

The recipients of the 2008 André-Aisenstadt Prize are Jozsef Solymosi (University of British Columbia) and Jonathan Taylor (Université de Montréal). This year, the competition was harder than ever -- the committee recognized the beauty, the impact and the splendid originality of the results of both Solymosi and Taylor. Concerning Solymosi's works, each member of the selection committee was struck by the extraordinary efficiency and elegance of his results at the cutting edge of a new field, additive combinatorics (sometimes called arithmetic combinatorics).They appreciated the simplicity and deep insight in each of his works. In Taylor's work, the committee was impressed by the exceptional breath of expertises in probability, geometry and statistics -- although the committee only took into consideration the mathematical aspects of his works, this was already enough to award the Prize to Taylor with enthusiasm. | May 1 conference photo gallery | May 2 conference photo gallery | More details.

CRM-SSC Prize in Statistics Awarded to Richard Cook

Richard Cook, Professor in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science at the University of Waterloo, is the 2007 winner of the CRM-SSC prize. Dr. Cook’s work in longitudinal and lifetime data analysis has had immense impact on biostatistics, medicine and public health. Within 15 years of his PhD, Richard Cook has made outstanding contributions to an impressive number of statistical research fields covering the design of clinical trials, hierarchical models, robust inference, and the analysis of survival, multi-state, and recurrent event data. | Press release | 2007 Annual meeting photos

Two Recipients for André-Aisenstadt Prize 2007

Alexander E. Holroyd, 2007 André-Aisenstadt Prize

Alexander Holroyd was educated at the University of Cambridge, where he obtained his Ph.D. in mathematics in 2000 under the supervision of Geoffrey Grimmett.
