Jacob Tsimerman receives John L. Synge Award from the Royal Society of Canada

Jacob Tsimerman, an associate professor in the Faculty of Arts & Science鈥檚 department of mathematics, has received the prestigious from the Royal Society of Canada.

The annual award recognizes outstanding research in the mathematical sciences. It is awarded in honour of the late John Lighton Synge, former head of 茄子直播's department of applied mathematics and one of the first mathematicians working in Canada to receive international recognition for his research.

Tsimerman鈥檚 research focuses primarily on analytic number theory and arithmetic geometry. He studies whole number solutions to certain types of polynomial equations. One of his most notable research accomplishments is his contribution to a proof for a longstanding mathematical hypothesis called the Andr茅-Oort conjecture.

鈥淚 am truly honoured to accept the Synge Award,鈥 says Tsimerman. 鈥淢athematics is a collective endeavour and I am thrilled to share this honour with a wonderful community of friends, colleagues and students. I am grateful to be given the opportunity to delve even deeper into the challenges and beauty that mathematics offers.鈥
