(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Hugo Duminil-Copin is a French mathematician specializing in probability theory. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 2022. Biography The son of a middle school sports teacher and a former female dancer who became a primary school teacher, Duminil-Copin grew up in the outer suburbs of Paris, where he played a lot of sports as a child, and initially considered attending a sports-oriented high school to pursue his interest in handball. He decided to attend a school focused on mathematics and science, and enrolled at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris, then at the École normale supérieure and the University Paris-Sud. He decided to focus on math instead of physics, because he found the rigour of mathematical proof more satisfying, but developed an interest in percolation theory, which is used in mathematical physics to address issues in statistical mechanics. In 2008, he moved to the University of Geneva to write a PhD thesis under Stanislav Smirnov. Duminil-Copin and Smirnov used percolation theory and the vertices and edges connecting them in a lattice to model fluid flow and with it phase transitions. The pair investigated the number of self-avoiding walks that were possible in hexagonal lattices, connecting combinatorics to percolation theory. This was published in the Annals of Mathematics in 2012, the same year in which Duminil-Copil was awarded his PhD at the age of 27.
