Miguel Nicolás Walsh is an Argentine mathematician working in number theory and ergodic theory.[https://web.archive.org/web/20140411225851/http://www.mca2013.org/prizes.html Mathematical Congress of the Americas – Prizes MCA2013][http://en.mincyt.gob.ar/news/mathematics-substance-is-in-the-new-methods-and-views-9471 mincyt – Interview with Miguel Walsh] He is a professor at the University of Buenos Aires.
Education and career
Walsh has previously held a Clay Research Fellowship and was a fellow of Merton College at the University of Oxford.{{Cite web |title=Miguel Walsh |url=https://www.claymath.org/people/miguel-walsh/ |access-date=2024-04-10 |website=Clay Mathematics Institute |language=en-US}}[http://www.merton.ox.ac.uk/people/dr-miguel-walsh Dr Miguel Walsh - Merton College] He is a professor of mathematics at the University of Buenos Aires.
He was also Member of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute at Berkeley, Senior Fellow of the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics at UCLA and von Neumann Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton.{{Cite web |last=mwalsh |title=Departamento de Matematica - Miguel Walsh |url=https://cms.dm.uba.ar/Members/mwalsh/ |access-date=2024-04-28 |website=cms.dm.uba.ar |language=es}}
Walsh was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He obtained his undergraduate degree in 2010 from the University of Buenos Aires and his PhD, also from the same institution, in 2012.
Recognition
He received the MCA Prize in 2013. In 2014, he was awarded the ICTP Ramanujan Prize for his contributions to mathematics. He is the youngest recipient to date of both awards.[http://www.ictp.it/about-ictp/media-centre/news/2014/6/2014ramanujanprize.aspx ICTP - 2014 Ramanujan Prize Announced]
In June 2017 Walsh was invited to present his research at the 2018 International Congress of Mathematicians in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.{{cite web|title=Oxford Mathematicians invited to speak at ICM 2018|url=https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/node/25655|publisher=University of Oxford Mathematical Institute|access-date=23 June 2017}} In 2021, he was selected as Plenary Speaker of the Mathematical Congress of the Americas.[https://mca2021.dm.uba.ar/en/ MCA 2021]
In 2024, he was awarded the inaugural IMSA Prize of the Institute of the Mathematical Sciences of America during the Mathematical Waves Conference in Miami.{{Cite web |date=2024-02-05 |title=Miguel Walsh Awarded Young Mathematician IMSA Prize - IAS News {{!}} Institute for Advanced Study |url=https://www.ias.edu/news/miguel-walsh-awarded-young-mathematician-imsa-prize |access-date=2024-04-10 |website=www.ias.edu |language=en}} That same year, he received the UMALCA Award of the Mathematical Union of Latin America and the Caribbean.{{Cite web |title=Entrega de Premios Umalca 2024 en VII CLAM {{!}} Umalca |url=https://www.umalca.org/2024/09/entrega-premios-umalca-2024/ |access-date=2024-10-07 |website=www.umalca.org}}
He is one of two 2024 recipients of the Salem Prize, given "for contributions to ergodic theory, analytic number theory, and the development of the polynomial method, including a convergence theorem for nonconventional ergodic averages, bounds on the local Fourier uniformity of multiplicative functions, and bounds on rational points on varieties".{{cite web|url=https://www.ias.edu/math/2024-salem-prize-winners|title=2024 Salem Prize Winners|date=22 October 2024 |publisher=Institute for Advanced Study|access-date=2024-10-24}}
