We are delighted to announce the Department of Mathematics is the recipient of three (3) Sloan Fellowship Research Awards.
The winners are Larry Guth, Spyros Alexakis and Balazs Szegedy
“The Sloan Research Fellowships seek to stimulate fundamental research by early-career scientists and scholars of outstanding promise. These two-year fellowships are awarded yearly to 118 researchers in recognition of distinguished performance and a unique potential to make substantial contributions to their field.” - http://www.sloan.org/fellowships
“With three Sloan recipients, the Department of Mathematics has set a new U of T record for the number of fellowships going to a single department. Of 19 Sloans awarded to mathematicians this year, three went to U of T, two went to SUNY, Stony Brook and 14 other universities got one each.”
Congratulations to the winners!
