Associate Professor Matt Kennedy has been awarded the Israel Halperin Prize for 2020. The prize is awarded every five years for outstanding work in operator algebras or operator theory to members of the Canadian mathematical community who are within ten years of receipt of their doctorate.
The Israel Halperin Prize was established in 1979 in honour of Israel Halperin, the founder of a group of researchers in operator algebras and operator theory at the University of Toronto, and his influence led to a very strong group in the field across Canada.
Congratulations, Matt!
