Thomas Rothvoss, Professor of Mathematics and CSE, has been awarded the 2025 Trevisan Prize in the mid-career category. The Trevisan Prize was instituted in 2025 jointly by Bocconi University and the Italian Academy of Sciences to commemorate and celebrate the contributions of Luca Trevisan (1971-2024), to recognize exceptional research contributions in theoretical aspects of computer science construed broadly. Professor Rothvoss was recognized for his breakthrough contributions to the study of optimization problems leading to novel approximation algorithms for bin-packing and Steiner tree problems, lower bounds on the extension complexity of the matching polytope, and major progress on the complexity of integer programming.
