Robert Haslhofer has been awarded the 2023 Coxeter-James Prize

March 31, 2023 by Canadian Mathematical Society

The Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) is pleased to announce that Dr. Robert Haslhofer (University of Toronto) has been named the recipient of the 2023 Coxeter-James Prize for his outstanding contributions to Riemannian geometry and geometric analysis, especially mean curvature and Ricci flows.

Dr. Haslhofer was awarded his Ph.D. in Mathematics from ETH Zurich in 2012. Since then Dr. Haslhofer has continued on an impressive trajectory. After three years as a Courant Instructor at New York University’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, he joined the Department of Mathematics at the University of Toronto in 2015. Recent recognitions of Dr. Haslhofer’s work include the Andre Aisenstadt Prize (2020), a Sloan Research Fellowship (2018-2022) and an NSERC Discovery Grant (2016-2023).

Lauded by his colleagues as “one of the most distinguished and most promising mathematicians worldwide in Riemannian geometry and geometric analysis,” Dr. Haslhofer’s scientific work with various collaborators include novel characterizations of Ricci flows, study of mean curvature flows through neck singularities, and impressive contributions to stochastic analysis on path spaces.
