PostDoctoral Research Fellowship

该奖项是2020财年数学科学博士后研究奖学金计划的一部分。每一项奖学金在一名赞助科学家的指导下，支持一项在主办机构进行的数学科学研究和培训项目，包括对其他学科的应用。Yair Shenfeld获得奖学金的项目名称是“凸几何和高维概率中的最佳结构”。该奖学金的主办机构是麻省理工学院，赞助科学家是大卫·杰里森。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award is made as part of the FY 2020 Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships Program. Each of the fellowships supports a research and training project at a host institution in the mathematical sciences, including applications to other disciplines, under the mentorship of a sponsoring scientist. The title of the project for this fellowship to Yair Shenfeld is "Optimal Structures in Convex Geometry and High-Dimensional Probability." The host institution for the fellowship is Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the sponsoring scientist is David Jerison.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
