Xiuxiong Chen is a leading figure in complex geometry with fundamental contributions to the field. He and his collaborators have made major breakthroughs and finally settled several long-standing problems. With S.K. Donaldson and S. Sun, Chen proved the stability conjecture (which goes back to Yau) on Fano Kähler manifolds.

Aleksander Doan is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Mathematics, working in the field of differential geometry. In his thesis, he studied the phenomenon of energy concentration for solutions to the equations of gauge theory, and explored a relationship between gauge theory and algebraic geometry.
Professor Leon A. Takhtajan, a member of the Department of Mathematics in the College of Arts and Sciences, is a highly regarded mathematical physicist who has produced fundamental and pioneering work on the theory of classical and quantum integrable systems and string theory, with deep applications to algebraic geometry, the Teichmüller theory of Riemann surfaces, and number theory. He has co-authored several highly influential textbooks, regarded as must-reads for several generations of mathematical physicists. …
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) awarded two Stony Brook University faculty and one former faculty member with the 2019 Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry. Among this year’s recipients are Xiuxiong Chen, a professor in the Department of Mathematics; Sir Simon Donaldson, a permanent member of the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics and a professor in the Department of Mathematics; and Song Sun, currently in the Department of Mathematics at University of California, Berkeley.
Professor Dusa McDuff FRS was awarded the Sylvester Medal in 2018 for her pioneering role in the development of the new field of symplectic geometry and topology. Her outstanding work includes many fundamental theorems and she has been inspirational for generations of mathematicians.
