2026 Fields Medal goes to four young mathematicians, two of them from China
He later moved to the U.S., earning his bachelor's degree at MIT and his doctorate at Princeton University.Pardon, 37, is a professor at Stony Brook University in the U.S. He was honored for his achievements in symplectic geometry, including new approaches to virtual fundamental cycles, the Fukaya categories of certain manifolds, and the counting of holomorphic curves. He has also contributed to other areas of geometry and topology, including group actions on 3-manifolds and knot theory.Pardon took gold medals at the International Olympiad in Informatics three years running from 2005 to 2007.
