2019年度邵逸夫数学科学奖颁予米歇尔・塔拉格兰 (Michel Talagrand)，以表彰他研究集中不等式、随机过程的上确界 和自旋玻璃的严谨结果。米歇尔・塔拉格兰是前法国国家科学研究中心高级研究员。
米歇尔・塔拉格兰对概率和高维几何作出了深远的贡献，其中至少有三项工作可以被形容为革命性的研究。
Michel Talagrand works in the areas of probability and high-dimensional geometry. While these areas may sound quite different, they are in fact intimately connected: indeed, a sequence of random variables, each of which takes a numerical value, can be thought of as the coordinates of a single random variable that takes values in a high-dimensional space. And a major theme in modern statistics is the difficulty of extracting useful information from data that depend on many variables, which is naturally modelled as a problem about identifying structure in high-dimensional sets.
Talagrand has made profound contributions to the two areas, at least three of which could be described as revolutionary.
