The Loeve Prize
Michel Loeve
was Professor at the University of
California, Berkeley, from 1948 until his untimely death in 1979.
His widow, Line Loeve, shortly before her own death in 1992
gave a very generous bequest to U.C.B. in two parts.
One part established the
Loeve Fellowships
to support graduate students in probability.
The other part established
the Loeve Prize,
formally
The Line and Michel Loeve International Prize in Probability.
The prize, awarded every two years,
is intended to recognize outstanding contributions by researchers in probability
who are under 45 years old.
The 2007 Prize
The winner of the 2007 Prize is
