Math department chair and faculty member, Malik Younsi, was recently awarded the 2026 Frontiers of Science Award from the International Congress of Basic Science (ICBS) for his collaborative paper “Rigidity theorems for circle domains” joint with Dimitrios Ntalampekos.
The criteria for the award is: “For the 2026 selection, scientific works in both basic and applied research are chosen in 40 areas of the three basic science fields (mathematics, theoretical physics, and theoretical computer and information sciences) represented at the ICBS. A scientific achievement must meet the following three requirements to be considered: (1) it must have been published in the last 10 years; (2) it must be of highest scientific value and originality and have made an important impact on its area; (3) it must have been evaluated and accepted by scholars in its area. The goal of this award is to encourage young scholars to look to the frontiers of basic science, set goals to obtain breakthrough results as early as possible, and contribute wisdom and energy to humankind’s study of the mysteries of the natural world.“
