With this award, the International Congress for Basic Science honors cutting-edge research with a focus on achievements from the last ten years. Scientific work from both basic and applied research in 40 fields is selected.

Together with his co-authors Chiara Boccato (University of Pisa), Serena Cenatiempo (GSSI L'Aquila), Benjamin Schlein (University of Zurich), Christian Brennecke was honored for the paper “Bogoliubov Theory in the Gross-Pitaevskii Limit” (Acta Math. (2019) 222(2), 219-335, https://doi.org/10.4310/acta.2019.v222.n2.a1). The laudation says: "This work establishes Bogoliubov Theory for dilute Bose gases in the Gross-Pitaevskii limit, a key step in understanding Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity. The authors contribute to the mathematical foundation of many-body quantum physics by introducing rigorous tools to derive macroscopic properties from microscopic equations."

Christian Brennecke studied physics and mathematics in Aachen, Berlin and Zurich. He received his doctorate in mathematics from the University of Zurich in 2018. He was then a Benjamin Peirce Fellow at Harvard University for three years. Since October 2021, Christian Brennecke has been a Junior Fellow at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics and Professor at the Institute for Applied Mathematics. His research area lies at the interface of analysis, mathematical physics and probability theory.
