Luis Caffarelli has won the 2023 Abel prize, unofficially called the Nobel prize for mathematics, for his work on a class of equations that describe many real-world physical systems, from melting ice to jet engines
, for his work on a class of equations that describe many real-world physical systems, from melting ice to jet engines.
Based at the University of Texas at Austin, Caffarelli started work on partial differential equations in the late 1970s and has contributed to hundreds of papers since. He is known for making connections between seemingly distant mathematical concepts, such as how a theory describing the smallest possible areas that surfaces can occupy can be used to describe PDEs in extreme cases.
“Forty years after these papers appeared, we have digested them and we know how to do some of these things more efficiently,” says
