Premios y Distinciones

  •   MCA Prize

    Mathematical Council of the Americas

    Canada, 2017

    Citation: "For his profound results in arithmetic and analytic number theory including his work on the ABC conjecture and his results on H10 for non-Archimedean analytic and meromorphic functions." Description: Five prizes of USD 1000 each will be awarded to mathematicians who are no more than 12 years past their PhD in July 2017. Eligibility for consideration of nominees requires that they either received their graduate education or that they currently hold a position in one or more countries in the Americas. The choice of the prize winners will be based on the documented mathematical achievements of the nominees.

  •   CMS Doctoral Prize

    Canadian Mathematical Society

    Chile, 2015

    The CMS Doctoral Prize recognizes outstanding performance by a doctoral student who graduated from a Canadian university in the preceding year (January 1 to December 31). The first award was presented in 1997.

  •   Governor General's Academic Gold Medal

    Governor General

    Chile, 2014

    Lord Dufferin, Canada’s third Governor General after Confederation, created the Academic Medals in 1873 to encourage academic excellence across the nation. Over the years, they have become the most prestigious award that students in Canadian schools can receive.
