Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences 2026 awarded to Emmanuel Candès and Camillo De Lellis

Congratulations to Emmanuel Candès and Camillo De Lellis, who have been awarded the Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences 2026 in equal shares.

Professor Candès, The Barnum–Simons Chair in Mathematics and Statistics at Stanford University, and Professor De Lellis, IBM von Neumann Professor in the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, receive the prize for their outstanding contributions to mathematical analysis and its applications.

The Shaw Prize Foundation cites their work for “the use of deep techniques from mathematical analysis to rigorously understand applied problems in information theory, signal processing and statistics on the one hand, and to the study of singularities in geometric measure theory and fluid dynamics on the other.”
