In 2014, the Iranian mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani became the first female Fields Medalist. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] [ 13 ] In total, 64 people have been awarded the Fields Medal. The most recent group of Fields Medalists received their awards on 5 July 2022 in an online event which was live-streamed from Helsinki, Finland.
The 2013 prize winner was Maryam Mirzakhani, who, the following year, became the first woman to be awarded the Fields Medal, which is considered to be the highest honor a mathematician can receive. [11] [12] She won both awards for her work on "the geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces". [13]
On February 20, 2020, the National Academy of Sciences announced that Guth is the first winner of their new $20,000 Maryam Mirzakhani Prize in Mathematics for mid-career mathematicians. The citation states that his award is "for developing surprising, original, and deep connections between geometry, analysis, topology, and combinatorics, which ...
