The Andr\u00e9 Aisenstadt Prize, which recognizes outstanding research achievements in pure or applied mathematics by a young Canadian mathematician, is awarded this year to\u00a0Benjamin Landon (University of Toronto)<\/strong>. His remarkable contributions continue the tradition of excellence that this prize has celebrated since its inception.<\/p>\n

\n

Benjamin Landon was born in Kenora, Ontario. He received a B.Sc. and M.Sc from McGill University under the supervision of Robert Seiringer and Vojkan Jak\u0161i\u0107. He then earned a PhD from Harvard University in 2018 under the supervision of Horng-Tzer Yau. From 2018-2021 he was a CLE Moore Instructor at MIT and then joined the University of Toronto as an Assistant Professor in 2021.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

His contributions, obtained alone and with collaborators, put Landon among the most accomplished researchers in random matrix theory in the world and he has also obtained profound results in several other areas within mathematical physics, among them work on the spectral theory of Schr\u00f6dinger operators, work on spherical spin glasses, and on growth models in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
