Prof. Brendan Pass receives the CAIMS/PIMS Early Career Award
Prof. Brendan Pass of the University of Alberta is awarded the 2021 CAIMS/PIMS Early Career Award in recognition of his contributions to the study of optimal transport problems. In particular, Dr. Pass has worked on multi-marginal optimal transport problems, Wasserstein barycenters, and optimal transportation between unequal dimensions. These problems have many applications including in economics, physics, and quantum chemistry. Prof. Pass is one of the organizers of the PIMS Collaborative Research Group Pacific Inderdisciplinary hub on Optimal Transport (PIHOT) [@TODO link].
