Ukrainian mathematician Maryna Viazovska has become the second woman ever to win a prestigious Fields Medal
Ukrainian number theorist Maryna Viazovska is among the four winners of the 2022 Fields Medals, one of the highest honours in mathematics that is conventionally awarded to people aged under 40. The other winners are James Maynard, a number theorist at the University of Oxford, UK; June Huh, a specialist in combinatorics at Princeton University in New Jersey; and Hugo Duminil-Copin, who studies statistical physics at the Institute of Advanced Scientific Studies near Paris.
“Viazovska invents fresh and unexpected tools that allow her to jump over natural barriers that have held us back for years,” says Peter Sarnak, a number theorist at Princeton University in New Jersey. June Huh’s citation said that together with colleagues he had “transformed the field of geometric combinatorics”. He did so by importing tools from another field of maths, algebraic geometry.Credit: Lance Murphey/Ryan Cowan/Matteo Fieni
