Professor Jeremy Quastel to receive the 2019 CMS Jeffery-Williams Prize
Congratulations to Professor Jeremy Quastel for being named the recipient of the 2019 CMS Jeffery-Williams Prize.
The Fields Institute congratulates Professor Jeremy Quastel as the 2019 recipient of the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) Jeffery-Williams Prize. He is the current Chair of the Mathematics Department of the University of Toronto and previous winner of the CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize (2018).
Dr. Quastel is being recognized for is groundbreaking contributions to the fields of hydrodynamic theory, stochastic partial differential equations, and integrable probability. Most notably, his recent work with Matetski and Remenik on the integrability of TASEP and demonstrating that the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation is universal in that it arises as a scaling limit of a wide variety of non-linear stochastic partial differential equations of Hamilton-Jacobi type.
Jeremy Quastel has been recognized as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (2016) and received the Killam Research Fellowship in 2013. He received his Ph.D. from the Courant Institute in 1990. After six years at the University of California, he moved to the University of Toronto.
