Laurent Lafforgue is a distinguished French mathematician recognized for his significant contributions to Langlands’ program in number theory and analysis. He is known for proving the Langlands conjectures for the automorphism group of a function field by constructing compactifications of specific moduli stacks of shtukas. Lafforgue’s dedicated efforts over six years demonstrate his commitment to solving complex mathematical problems. His remarkable achievements were acknowledged when he was awarded the Fields Medal alongside Vladimir Voevodsky during the 24th International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing in 2002.
