Thomas Willwacher: EMS Prize
The European Mathematical Society, the EMS, has awarded the 2016 EMS Prize to Professor Thomas Willwacher.
Thomas Willwacher received the prize for "his striking and important research in a variety of mathematical fields: homotopical algebra, geometry, topology and mathematical physics, including deep results related to Kontsevich's formality theorem and the relation between Kontsevich's graph complex and the Grothendieck-Teichmüller Lie algebra."
He will deliver the EMS Prize Lecture entitled: "Graph complexes in algebra and topology" at the external page European Congress of Mathematics in Berlin started on 18 July 2016.
