Josef Dick awarded the 2013 IBC Prize in Austria

Earlier this month, Josef Dick was awarded the 2013 Prize for Achievement in Information Based Complexity (IBC) at the Workshop on Uniform distribution and quasi-Monte Carlo methods in Linz, Austria. Josef was announced as the co-winner of this award, along with Friedrich Pillichshammer, in May.

Josef Dick and Friedrich Pillichshammer are co-authors of a 600-page monograph published by Cambridge University Press in 2010. The IBC Prize is in part a recognition of the importance of this book. It is ranked by MathSciNet in the top 100 of the most cited publications in mathematics of 2010.

Josef has had a very successful couple of years. He was the recipient of the 2012 Christopher Heyde medal, which is a prestigious award of the Academy of Science for distinguished research by a person under the age of 40. He was also recently promoted to Associate Professor.

We congratulate Josef for his very impressive achievements!
