Rollo Davidson Trust
 |
The Trust was founded in 1975 in memory of Rollo
Davidson, an accomplished mathematician of remarkable
potential, and
Fellow-elect of Churchill College, Cambridge, who died on the Piz
Bernina
in 1970. Initial funding from the Trust came from the royalties of two
collections
of
papers published in 1973/74 by friends and colleagues of
Rollo. The
Trust has benefited from the continuing association with the Davidson
family.
The Trustees award an annual Prize (ps file) (pdf file) for young probabilists. The prize winner for the year 2009 is Gregory Miermont, DMA, Ecole Normale Suprieure, Paris, for original contributions to the understanding of random trees and large random planar maps.
