Partial Differential Equations

Svitlana Mayboroda, past von Neumann Fellow in the School of Mathematics (2018, 2021), has been honored with a Blavatnik National Award for Young Scientists for developing an elegant new mathematical theory to understand electronic waves.

“Exceptionally prolific mathematician” Luis Caffarelli, past Faculty (1986–96) and Member (2009) in the Institute’s School of Math, has been awarded the 2023 Abel Prize for his field-shaping work on nonlinear partial differential equations.

Richard Schoen, Distinguished Visiting Professor in the School of Mathematics (1992–93) and Member in the School (1979–80, 1983–84), has been awarded the 2017 Wolf Prize in mathematics for his contributions to geometric analysis and the understanding...
