Prof. Corwin works to unify algebraic structures within mathematics, build bridges between these structures and domains of physics, and discover universal phenomena within these domains. He has uncovered universal distributions (modern day parallels of the bell curve) in models of interface growth, traffic flow, mass transport, turbulence, and shock-fronts.

Kenneth Ribet has been awarded the 2017 Brouwer Medal by the Royal Dutch Mathematical Society (KWG), for his contributions to number theory, in particular for the groundbreaking work in which he applies methods of algebraic geometry to number theoretical problems. The prize is awarded once every three years to a mathematician of international renown. This year, the medal will be delivered at the Dutch Mathematical Congress on April 11, 2017, following his Brouwer lecture.
