SIAM Activity Group on Control and Systems Theory Prize

Established in 1997, the prize is awarded to an individual in their early career for research contributions to mathematical control or systems theory.

Next Call for Nominations Opens: May 1, 2024

Prize Description


Prize Description

The SIAM Activity Group on Control and Systems Theory Prize (SIAG/CST Prize) is awarded every two years to one outstanding early career researcher for distinguished contributions to mathematical theory of systems and control in the three calendar years preceding the award year.


Eligibility Criteria

The candidate’s research must contain significant contributions to the mathematical theory of control or systems, as commonly defined in the mathematical and engineering literature. One key paper must be cited as evidencing the contributions, though a body of papers may be discussed in the nomination. The qualifying key paper must have been published in English in a peer-reviewed journal within the three calendar years preceding the award year. Either the candidate must be a graduate student or the key paper must have been published no more than three years after the candidate received their Ph.D. The committee may consider exceptions to the three-years-from Ph.D. rule, for career interruptions or delays occurring, e.g., for child bearing, child rearing, or elder care.

For the 2025 award, the paper must have been published between the dates of January 1, 2022 - December 31, 2024. The candidate must have been awarded their Ph.D. no earlier than 2019.

  • Nominator’s letter of recommendation for candidate
  • Candidate’s CV
  • Bibliographic citation for candidate’s key contributing paper
  • Two or three letters of support from experts in the field
