Camillo De Lellis awarded the 2026 Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences#
Academia Europaea is delighted to announce the award of the prestigious Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences 2026
to Professor Camillo De Lellis MAE, member of the Mathematics section of Academia Europaea since 2016.
Professor Camillo De Lellis
The prize is awarded in equal shares to Professor Emmanuel Candès, The Barnum–Simons Chair in Mathematics and Statistics, Stanford University, USA and Professor Camillo De Lellis, IBM von Neumann Professor, School of Mathematics, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton for their "use of deep techniques from mathematical analysis to rigorously understand applied problems in information theory, signal processing, and statistics on the one hand, and to the study of singularities in geometric measure theory and fluid dynamics on the other".
Professor Marta Sanz Solé MAE, the Chair of the Mathematics Section says:
“Prof. De Lellis receives the Shaw Prize for the creation and development of deep techniques in mathematical analysis to rigorously understand singularities in geometric measure theory and fluid dynamics".
Academia Europaea congratulates Prof. De Lellis to this distinction!#
