November 24, 2025

Vlad Vicol, Professor of Mathematics, has received the 2025 Fermat Prize from the Toulouse Institute of Mathematics for "deep and transformative breakthroughs in the mathematical analysis of equations of fluid mechanics and turbulence." The Fermat Prize is awarded every two years in fields where the contributions of Pierre de Fermat have been decisive: statements of variational principles, foundations of probability and analytic geometry, and Number theory. Created in 1989, the prize rewards the results of research accessible to the greatest number of professional mathematicians within these fields.
