Today the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business announced that Dilip Madan, professor of finance, has been selected to receive a 2006 Alexander von Humboldt Research Award in mathematics.

Forty past recipients have received the Nobel Prize in their fields, including five of the 2005 Nobel Laureates. Madan will receive his award from the President of the Humboldt Foundation this July in Berlin, Germany. He will also attend a reception given by the President of the Federal Republic of Germany. The award carries a cash prize of 50,000 Euro, or about US$60,000 at current exchange rates.
