SwissMAP Innovator Prize Ceremony

15 Sep 2021

The SwissMAP Innovator Prize Ceremony took place on Monday 13th September during the SwissMAP Annual General Meeting in Les Diablerets. 

 

The SwissMAP Innovator Prize is awarded once a year to PhD students or Postdocs for important scientific achievements in the NCCR SwissMAP research areas.

 

Both prize recipients, Arthur Jacot (EPFL, C. Hongler's group) and Maria Yakerson (ETHZ, R. Pandharipande's group) gave a talk after the prize Ceremony. 

 

Arthur Jacot was awarded the SwissMAP Innovator Prize 2021 for his works in the study of large-scale Artificial Neural Networks, in particular via the introduction of the Neural Tangent Kernel, and for his works on Random Feature and Kernel models using random matrix techniques.  Maria Yakerson was awarded a SwissMAP Innovator Prize 2021 for her work on motivic homotopy theory and its connection to the Hilbert scheme of points of affine spaces.
