Professor Craig S. Kaplan has been named a 2025 Fellow of the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences, an honour that recognizes his exceptional contributions to mathematics.
Established in 2002 to mark the Institute’s 10th anniversary, the Fields Institute Fellow designation celebrates individuals who have made outstanding contributions to mathematics and in advancing the Institute’s mission. Each year, a select group of distinguished researchers is named to this prestigious fellowship.
“I’m very pleased to hear that Craig has been named a Fellow of the Fields Institute,” said Raouf Boutaba, University Professor and Director of the Cheriton School of Computer Science. “Over his career, he has made many contributions to mathematics, computational geometry and computer graphics, often exploring their intersections with art. Most recently, Craig’s research gained international attention through his co-discovery and computational proof of an aperiodic monotile, a breakthrough in tiling theory that captured the imagination of the mathematical community and public alike.”
