About this program

The American Mathematical Society awards the Ciprian Foias Prize in Operator Theory to recognize outstanding and innovative contributions to operator theory, operator algebras, and closely related areas; recent awardees include Matthew Kennedy (2025) and Adam Marcus, Daniel Spielman, and Nikhil Srivastava (2022). The prize highlights work that has had substantial impact on the development of the field. Eligible candidates are nominated by peers through an AMS nomination process; typical submissions require a nomination letter, supporting letters, a citation of the work, and a curriculum vitae, and selection is made by an AMS prize committee.
