2017 Clay Research Awards

The Clay Mathematics Institute announces three Clay Research Awards.

A joint Clay Research Award is made to Aleksandr Logunov (Tel Aviv University and Chebyshev Laboratory, St Petersburg State University) and Eugenia Malinnikova (NTNU) in recognition of their introduction of a novel geometric combinatorial method to study doubling properties of solutions to elliptic eigenvalue problems.
