Constantinos Daskalakis, a 37-year-old MIT professor in the Department of
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and principal investigator at
the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, has won the
2018 Rolf Nevanlinna Prize, one of the most prestigious international
awards in mathematics.

Announced on Wednesday at the International Conference of Mathematicians in
Brazil, the prize is awarded every four years to a scientist under 40
deemed to have made a major contribution to the mathematical aspects of
computer science.

Daskalakis was honored by the International Mathematical Union (IMU) for
“transforming our understanding of the computational complexity of
fundamental problems in markets, auctions, equilibria, and other economic
structures," MIT said.

The award comes with a monetary prize of 10,000 euros.
