The Shaw Prize

🔢You know the word “mathematics.” You know the word “analysis.” But what happens when they come together as “mathematical analysis”? This year, the Shaw Laureates in Mathematical Sciences Professors Emmanuel Candes and Camillo De Lellis were honoured for their use of deep techniques from mathematical analysis to inspire progress across disciplines beyond mathematics, as well as to tackle classical problems that have long existed in the field. What does mathematical analysis really mean, and why is it at the heart of so many discoveries? ✨Read the article to learn more! https://lnkd.in/gHvNZtbn Stanford University Institute for Advanced Study #ShawPrize #ShawPrize2026 #ShawLaureates2026 #MathematicalSciences #MathematicalAnalysis

🔭Last week, we revealed the 2026 Shaw Prize winners, including Laureates in Astronomy: Professors Ken’ichi Nomoto and Stanford Woosley. ✨The citation is concise yet rich in essence: for their studies of stellar explosions and the origin of the elements. But what does this actually mean?

It is a great honour to welcome leading figures in the field to join the Selection Committee for The Shaw Prize in Computer Science. Professor Yann LeCun, Executive Chairman at AMI Labs and Jacob T. Schwartz Professor of Computer Science at New York University, received the ACM A.M. Turing Award in 2018. He served for many years as Chief AI Scientist at Meta. #ShawPrize #ShawPrize2026 #CS #ComputerScience #ai #computing #computation #Turing #TuringAward

We are delighted to introduce the inaugural Chair of the Selection Committee for The Shaw Prize in Computer Science, Professor Jennifer Chayes, Dean of UC Berkeley College of Computing, Data Science, and Society. With her cross‑disciplinary background and deep expertise, she will lead the committee in identifying the very first Laureate(s). She pointed to the committee’s diverse composition as a core strength: “Our committee brings together extraordinary expertise from around the globe, reflecting the international and interdisciplinary nature of computer science today. This diversity ensures a balanced, inclusive, and rigorous evaluation process.” #ShawPrize #ShawPrize2026 #CS #ComputerScience #ai #computing #computation

Today, for the first time, The Shaw Prize Foundation officially announced the launch of a new prize category — The Shaw Prize in Computer Science. Nominations will open in September 2026, and the first Laureate(s) will be announced in spring 2027. #ShawPrize #ShawPrize2026 #NewPrize #CS #ComputerScience #ai #computing #computation
