Awards and honors
In 2007, he was awarded a Clay Research Award for his work, joint with James McKernan, on "the birational geometry of algebraic varieties in dimension greater than three, in particular, for [an] inductive proof of the existence of flips." [2]
In 2009, he was awarded the Cole Prize for outstanding contribution to algebra, along with McKernan.[3]
He was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians 2010 in Hyderabad, on the topic of "Algebraic Geometry."[4]
In 2011, he was awarded the Antonio Feltrinelli Prize in Mathematics, Mechanics and Applications by Italy's prestigious Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei.[5]
In 2012, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[6]
In 2012, he became a Simons Investigator.[7]
In 2015, he won the American Mathematical Society Moore Prize.[8]
In 2017, he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[9]
In 2017, he won the 2018 Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics (with James McKernan).[10]
In 2018, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
In 2019, he was elected to the Royal Society.[11]
