Outstanding contribution to the community and in teaching - Yael Via
Congratulation to Prof. Michael Temkin who is a 2019 recipient of the Professor Amnon Pazy memorial award.
The Pazy Memorial award was established by the BSF, to be given annually to an outstanding and original new project in the mathematics and computer science competition.
Congratulation to Prof. Ruth Lawrence-Naimark who is a 2021 recipient of the Professor Amnon Pazy memorial award.
The Pazy Memorial award was established by the BSF, to be given annually to an outstanding and original new project in the mathematics and computer science competition.
Congratulation to Dr. Shai Evra who is a 2021 recipient of an Azrieli Early-Career Faculty Fellowship.
David Kazhdan will be one of the Plenary Speakers at the next International Congress of Mathematics (ICM), which will take place in St. Petersburg, Russia, from 6 to 14 July, 2022.
The ICM is the most influential conference in pure and applied mathematics. Many prestigious awards as the Fields Medals are awarded during the congress's opening ceremony. An invitation to give a plenary lecture to the thousands of ICM participants is considered a special distinction in the mathematical community.
Congratulation to Dr. Or Hershkovits who is a 2021 recipient of an Allon Scholarship.
The Allon Scholarship of the Council for Higher Education in Israel supports outstanding young scientists and its purpose is to enable Israeli universities to hire the scholars full-time.
Prof. Hillel Furstenberg's picture was added to the Hebrew University "wall of Nobels".
University administration representatives were joined by senior faculty from the Einstein Institute of Mathematics and family members for an "unveiling" ceremony where Prof. Hillel Furstenberg's picture was added to the Hebrew University's "Wall of Nobels".
Prof. Furstenberg, of the Einstein Institute of Mathematics at the Hebrew University, was chosen last year to receive the Abel Prize, together with Prof. Gregory Margolis from Yale University. The Abel Prize is awarded annually by the King of Norway in recognition of exceptional accomplishments in the field of mathematics and is widely recognized as the most prominent award in the field - on par with the Nobel Prize which has no category for mathematics.
Prof. Furstenberg and Prof. Margolis received the award for their groundbreaking research in the field of probability. The two researchers developed tools to investigate mathematical objects, such as groups and graphs, and in doing so introduced probabilistic methods to solve many open problems in group theory, number theory, combinatorics and graph theory.
The recipient of the Haim Nessyahu Prize for outstanding PhD is Dr. Lior Yanovski, currently at the Max-Planck Institute in Bonn. Dr. Yanovski's dissertation was submitted to the Hebrew University, and included original and creative results in chromatic homotopy theory and infinity categories. His advisor was Prof. Tomer Schlank.
