Wednesday, April 29, 2026

Professor Gautam Kamath has won the 2026 Presburger Award. This prestigious honour recognizes his exceptional contributions to theoretical computer science, notably his pioneering work on computationally efficient algorithms for fundamental estimation tasks under robustness constraints.

Conferred annually since 2010 by the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science, the Presburger Award recognizes a young researcher for outstanding contributions to theoretical computer science, as documented by a paper or series of papers. The award is named in honour of Mojżesz Presburger, whose groundbreaking research on decidability of the theory of addition laid the foundation for what is now known as Presburger arithmetic.
