Mark Braverman has won the Abacus Medal for a mathematical approach to solving problems while sharing as little information as possible.
Fields Medallist Duminil-Copin's work in statistical physics brings together his two loves – maths and physics.
Maynard went from a fascination with numbers as a young child to making spectacular contributions to number theory that have earned him a Fields Medal.
Huh may have had relatively late start in mathematics but his work with maths you can feel and touch has won him a Fields medal.
Viazovska is only the second woman to receive a Fields Medal, for her ground-breaking proof to a problem we're all familiar with.
Hugo Duminil-Copin has been awarded a Fields Medal for solving longstanding problems in statistical physics. He told us about how his work brings together his two loves – maths and physics.
