Andrea Mondino has been awarded the Whitehead Prize by the London Mathematical Society, in recognition of his contributions to geometric analysis in differential and metric settings. In particular, he has played a central part in the development of the theory of metric measure spaces with Ricci curvature lower bounds.

Dr. Mondino obtained his PhD in Mathematics at SISSA in 2011 and now is Associate Professor at the Mathematical Institute-University of Oxford and Tutorial Fellow of Pure Mathematics at St. Hilda’s college.
