   2012 RAMANUJAN PRIZE TO FERNANDO CODA MARQUES

Fernando Coda Marques of Instituto Nacional de Matematica Pura e
Aplicada, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) will receive the 2012 Ramanujan Prize
for Young Mathematicians from Developing Countries. The citation states:
"The Prize is in recognition of his several outstanding contributions to
differential geometry. Together with his coauthors, Fernando Coda Marques
has solved long-standing open problems, and obtained important results,
including results on the Yamabe problem, the complete solution of
Schoen's conjecture, counterexamples to the rigidity conjecture of
Min-Oo, connectivity of the space of positive curvature metrics on an
orientable 3-manifold, and most recently, a proof of the Willmore
conjecture." The prize is funded by the Niels Henrik Abel Memorial Fund,
with support from the International Mathematical Union. It is awarded
annually to a researcher younger than 45 who is from a developing country
and who has conducted outstanding research in a developing country. Read
