Reminder: Invitation to the 2019 ICTP Prize Ceremony on Wednesday, 2 June 2021

[ICTP Director]

> *On behalf of Prof. Dabholkar, we are pleased to invite you to the 
> 2019 ICTP Prize Ceremony which will take place at ICTP,  via remote, 
> on Wednesday, 2 June 2021, starting at 11:30 hrs CET.*
>
>
> The 2019 ICTP Prize in honour of Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar has been 
> awarded to Dr. Basudeb Dasgupta, Tata Institute of Fundamental 
> Research, Mumbai, India and Dr. Suvrat Raju, International Centre for 
> Theoretical Sciences, TIFR, Shivakote, Bengaluru, India.
>
> The prize recognises Professor Basudeb Dasgupta (India) for innovative 
> theoretical contributions to neutrino and dark-matter physics, 
> especially to the understanding of collective neutrino oscillations. 
> Dasgupta pioneered the field of collective neutrino flavor evolution 
> in extreme astrophysical environments, such as those in supernovae, 
> which helped the understanding of these spectacular and 
> phenomenologically rich events. His works on dark matter, the dominant 
> but yet unidentified component of matter in the Universe, produced 
> crucial input for the interpretation of ongoing direct search 
> experiments. His new ideas on the subject improved our understanding 
> of the possible nature and properties of this obscure form of matter.
>
> The prize recognises Professor Suvrat Raju (India) for new insights 
> into the holographic description of black-hole interiors, for 
> clarifying the nature of subtle non-local effects in quantum gravity, 
> and for contributions to the study of the AdS/CFT correspondence. His 
> works on black holes provided a deeper and more detailed description 
> of how the intrinsic non-locality of gravity could preserve unitarity 
> during the black-hole evaporation process, shedding new light on the 
> long-standing black-hole information paradox. He also helped to 
> develop a new set of tools and concepts that extend to conformal field 
> theories, holographic correspondence, quantum error corrections, and 
> algebraic quantum field theory.
