# Gribov Medal

The Gribov Medal is a prize awarded every two years since 2001 by the European Physical Society for work in theoretical elementary particle physics or quantum field theory. It is awarded to younger physicists (age under 35) and is named after Vladimir Naumovich Gribov.

## Prize Winners

| Year | Winner | Awarded For |
| 2001 | Steven Gubser | "For his outstanding work that has revealed a deep connection between gauge theories and gravitational interactions in the framework of string theories. This made it possible to compute and understand interesting properties of a gauge theory in 3+1 dimensions from a gravitational theory in 4+1 dimensions." |
| 2003 | Nima Arkani-Hamed | "For his original approaches to hierarchy problems in the theories of fundamental interactions. In particular for exploring the possibility of large extra dimensions where only gravity can propagate." |
| 2005 | Matias Zaldarriaga | "For his important theoretical contributions to Cosmology, with impact also on the theories of fundamental interactions. Among others for: a) developing an efficient method for calculating the observed CMB fluctuations in a given cosmological model. This has greatly facilitated imposing constraints on cosmological models and is widely used. b) Realizing the importance of polarization in the CMB and the possibility to measure it. c) Pointing out the importance of the effect of gravitational lensing by local matter on the CMB background." |
| 2007 | Niklas Beisert | "For his contributions to the exploration of integrability properties of a four dimensional quantum field theory, N=4 supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory." |
| 2009 | Freddy Cachazo | "For his research with others that led to significant simplifications in the calculation of scattering amplitudes in both gauge theories and gravity ones." |
| 2011 | Davide Gaiotto | "For the uncovering of new facets of the dynamics of four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories. In particular, for discovering a large class of four-dimensional superconformal theories and for finding with others important intricate relations between two-dimensional theories of gravity and four-dimensional gauge theories." |
| 2013 | Zohar Komargodski | "For his deep insights into the structure of the renormalization group in four-dimensional field theories and, in particular, his proof (with Adam Schwimmer) of the a-theorem." |
| 2015 | Pedro G. Vieira | "For his groundbreaking contributions to the determination of the exact spectrum of anomalous dimensions of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and scattering amplitudes, for any interaction strength." |
| 2017 | Simon Caron-Huot | "For his groundbreaking contributions to the understanding of the analytic structure of scattering amplitudes and their relation to Wilson loops." |
| 2019 | Douglas Stanford | "For his pioneering work on quantum chaos and its relation to the near-horizon dynamics of black holes." |
| 2021 | Bernhard Mistlberger | "For his groundbreaking contributions to multi-loop computations in QCD and to high-precision predictions of Higgs and vector boson production at hadron colliders." |
| 2023 | Netta Engelhardt | "For her groundbreaking contributions to the understanding of quantum information in gravity and black hole physics." |
