The YITP congratulates our colleague and member, Nikita Nekrasov of the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics, who will be awarded the 2023 Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics by the American Institute of Physics and the American Physical Society. The award cites his "elegant application of powerful mathematical techniques to extract exact results for quantum field theories... integrable models and noncommutative geometry".

The Heineman Prize is among the most prestigious of awards in science, and the Institute is proud that Nikita joins the distinguished list of previous Institute Heineman recipients:  Barry Mccoy, Alexander Zamolodchikov, Peter van Nieuwenhuizen and Dan Freedman.
