2010


National Medal of Science for Mathematics and Computer Science
(For his work in probability theory, especially his work on large deviations from expected random behavior, which has revolutionized this field of study during the second half of the twentieth century and become a cornerstone of both pure and applied probability. The mathematical insights he developed have been applied in diverse fields including quantum field theory, population dynamics, finance, econometrics, and traffic engineering.)

2007


Abel Prize
(For his fundamental contributions to probability theory and in particular for creating a unified theory of large deviations.)
