The Rollo Davidson Prize
The Rollo Davidson Prize commemorates Rollo Davidson (1944-1970). Since 1976, it has been awarded annually to young probabilists. The prize is awarded on the basis of nominations generated by the Rollo Davidson Trustees. The Trustees welcome letters recommending potential nominees. These should be addressed to the Chair of Trustees and be received by March 1 of the year for which they are intended.
The Rollo Davidson Trustees have pleasure in announcing the award of the Rollo Davidson Prize for 2025 to
Hao Shen (University of Wisconsin) for his deep contributions to the theory of stochastic partial differential equations and the furthering of our understanding of the stochastic Yang-Mills dynamics
and
Eliran Subag (Weizmann Institute) for his deep and influential results on the geometry of spin glasses
and
Mark Sellke (Harvard University) for his wide-ranging contributions to applications of probability, especially in the development and understanding of algorithms for high-dimensional optimization
