Joseph F. Traub Prize for Achievement in Information-Based Complexity
Joseph F. Traub Prize for Achievement in Information-Based Complexity This international award is presented to researchers who have made outstanding contributions in the field of Information-Based Complexity (IBC). IBC is a theoretical framework that studies the design and complexity of algorithms for solving continuous problems, such as numerical integration, function approximation, and optimization, under constraints of limited information. The prize is awarded annually by the Journal of Complexity and includes a monetary award of USD 3,000 (sponsored by Elsevier) along with a plaque.
About awarded research
Associate Professor Goda has made outstanding contributions to the fields of numerical analysis and uncertainty quantification, particularly in quasi-Monte Carlo methods, uniform distribution theory, and the tractability of high-dimensional problems such as numerical integration and function approximation. His research has been highly acclaimed for advancing efficient and robust algorithms for high-dimensional problems, especially in numerical integration and function approximation, from the perspective of IBC, as well as for offering theoretical insights into their optimality. It is also notable that Associate Professor Goda received the Joseph F. Traub Information-Based Complexity Young Researcher Award in 2017, which is given to outstanding researchers under the age of 35. This award marks his recognition in the unrestricted-age category, making it an honor eight years in the making.
Your impression & future plan
I am truly honored to receive this prestigious award. At the same time, being listed among such distinguished past recipients brings with it a great sense of responsibility. I would like to express my gratitude to all the collaborators with whom I have pursued exciting research topics over the years. Building upon the foundation of my previous work, I look forward to deepening my research and embracing new challenges through continued international collaboration.
