The prize is awarded to physicists from theoretical, mathematical, or experimental physics disciplines who have made transformative contributions to the advancement of physics. The physics prizes were founded by technology investor and science philanthropist Yuri Milner and are funded by a grant from the foundation established by Yuri and Julia Milner.
Oliver was recognized for "contributions to our understanding of the large-scale structure of the universe and the development of new tools to extract fundamental physics from galaxy surveys."
Congratulations on this incredible achievement Oliver!
