Kevin Henriot Prize
Kevin Henriot defended a brilliant thesis in additive combinatorics in 2014 at the University of Montreal. His thesis was co-supervised by Régis de la Bretèche (Université Paris-Diderot) and Andrew Granville (Université de Montréal) and received funding from both institutions. He then did a two-year post-doc at UBC (University of British Colombia). Kevin Henriot passed away prematurely on June 17, 2016.
Purpose of the prize
The Kevin Henriot Prize aims at keeping alive the memory of Kevin Henriot by rewarding a thesis in his field of research in the broadest sense, i.e. number theory, additive combinatorics or a field of mathematics related to his work.
