Hausdorff Memorial Prize awarded to Meike Neuwohner and Radu Toma

As every year, the Department of Mathematics awards the Hausdorff Memorial Prize to the best dissertation in mathematics. As there were two outstanding nominations from very different mathematics disciplines this year, the jury decided to award the Hausdorff Memorial Prize for the academic year 2023/2024 twice: to Meike Neuwohner and Radu Toma. Herbert Koch, Chairman of the Department of Mathematics, presented the award on January 15.
