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 winner of the 2017 prize is Hugo Duminil-Copin. The prize will be awarded at a ceremony in Berkeley, date T.B.A.
