2024 IMU-ICTP Ramanujan Prize Ceremony and Concert

The 2024 ICTP-IMU Ramanujan Prize Ceremony will place on Monday 9 December 2024 from 14.00 hrs at ICTP and will be followed by a public concert.

At the ceremony, the 2024 Ramanujan Prize for Young Mathematicians from Developing Countries will be presented to Prof. Ruochuan Liu of Peking University, China, in recognition "for his fundamental contributions to p-adic Hodge theory, especially his foundational study of relative p-adic Hodge theory and his remarkable work on rigidity and the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence for p-adic local systems".

Ruochuan Liu is a Distinguished Professor at Peking University. He earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees from Peking University and completed his Ph.D. at MIT in 2008. Following his doctoral studies, he held postdoctoral positions at Université Paris Diderot, McGill University, the Institute for Advanced Study, and the University of Michigan. He returned to Peking University in 2012 and has since held faculty positions at the Beijing International Center for Mathematical Research and the School of Mathematical Sciences. His work includes a series of contributions in the fundamental theory and applications of p-adic Hodge theory.

At the event, Professor Hélène Esnault, of the Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, will introduce Prof. Liu's work, which will be followed by a lecture titled 'Riemann-Hilbert for p-adic varieties', by Prof. Liu.

A public concert organised in partnership with Fondazione Bon and involving performances by four chamber music groups will take place afterwards, starting at 16.00hrs.

ICTP administers the ICTP-IMU Ramanujan Prize jointly with the International Mathematical Union (IMU). The prize is awarded annually to a researcher from a developing country who is less than 45 years of age on 31 December of the year of the award. Researchers working in any branch of the mathematical sciences are eligible.

More information about the Prize is available on the Ramanujan Prize webpage.
