Awards and Prizes

Prizes

In line with the objectives of the Society for Emerging Trends in Dynamical Systems (SETDS) and its mission to promote excellence in mathematical sciences, the Society has instituted a series of prestigious awards and prizes. These awards recognize outstanding research contributions, innovation, and academic excellence, and are presented annually at the SETDS collaborated Annual Conference.


SETDS Excellence Prizes in Mathematics and Its Applications

To inspire and encourage researchers globally, the Society for Emerging Trends in Dynamical Systems (SETDS) offers a set of prestigious prizes. These are named after legendary mathematicians, whose pioneering contributions continue to guide mathematical sciences and their applications.


Each Prize includes: a Cash Award, a Certificate, and a Memento. Winners are notified via email.




S. Ramanujan Prize for Pure Mathematics

Honouring Srinivasa Ramanujan, whose extraordinary work in number theory, partitions, modular functions, and infinite series continues to inspire deep research in pure mathematics. This prize is awarded for exceptional contributions in number theory, analytic methods, and related areas of mathematical analysis.

Alan Turing Prize for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence

Dedicated to Alan Turing, the pioneer of modern computer science and the visionary behind the concept of the Turing machine. The award recognises outstanding work in computation theory, algorithms, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.

Andrey Kolmogorov Prize for Probability and Mathematical Foundations

In tribute to Andrey Kolmogorov, who provided the axiomatic foundation of probability theory and advanced stochastic modelling, turbulence, and complexity theory. This prize is presented for achievements in probability, stochastic analysis, and mathematical modelling of random systems.

C. R. Rao Prize for Statistics and Data Science

Named after Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao, whose pioneering contributions include the Rao–Blackwell theorem, Cramér–Rao bound, and advances in multivariate analysis. This prize recognises pathbreaking work in statistical inference, data analysis, and their scientific applications.

Henri Poincaré Prize or Mathematical Sciences

Honouring Henri Poincaré, the founder of modern dynamical systems, topology, and qualitative theory of differential equations. The award is given for research in dynamical systems, celestial mechanics, topology, and chaos theory.

James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Applied Mathematics

Named after James Clerk Maxwell, whose equations unified electricity and magnetism, establishing the foundations of modern physics. This prize is awarded for excellence in electromagnetic theory, fluid mechanics, and mathematical physics.

John Nash Prize for Interdisciplinary Mathematics

Dedicated to John Nash, whose formulation of Nash equilibrium transformed economics and whose work in nonlinear PDEs remains influential. The award honours research in game theory, equilibrium analysis, and nonlinear mathematical models.

Emmy Noether Prize for Algebra and Mathematical Structures

In tribute to Emmy Noether, who revolutionised abstract algebra and revealed the deep link between symmetries and conservation laws in physics. This prize celebrates contributions in algebra, group theory, and symmetry applications in mathematics and physics.

Paul Erdős Prize for Mathematical Creativity

Honouring Paul Erdős, one of the most prolific mathematicians, renowned for his pioneering contributions to combinatorics, graph theory, and number theory. This award recognises excellence in discrete mathematics, combinatorial optimisation, and collaborative problem-solving.
