Research and awards
At the age of 16, Avila won a gold medal at the 1995 International Mathematical Olympiad and received a scholarship for the Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada,[2] where he got his PhD when he was 21 years old.[3] Later, as a research mathematician, he received in 2006 a Bronze Medal from CNRS as well as the Salem Prize, and was a Clay Research Fellow. In 2008 he was awarded one of the ten prestigious European Mathematical Society prizes, and in 2009 he won the Herbrand Prize from the French Academy of Sciences. He was a plenary speaker at the 2010 International Congress of Mathematicians.[4] In 2011 he was awarded the Michael Brin Prize. In 2012, he received the Early Career Award from the International Association of Mathematical Physics.[5]
