2019年度邵逸夫數學科學獎頒予米歇爾・塔拉格蘭 (Michel Talagrand)，以表彰他研究集中不等式、隨機過程的上確界 和自旋玻璃的嚴謹結果。米歇爾・塔拉格蘭是前法國國家科學研究中心高級研究員。
米歇爾・塔拉格蘭對概率和高維幾何作出了深遠的貢獻，其中至少有三項工作可以被形容為革命性的研究。
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.
