Peluse is cited for her contributions to arithmetic combinatorics and analytic number theory, particularly with regards to polynomial patterns in dense sets, and Tsimerman for his outstanding work in analytic number theory and arithmetic geometry, including breakthroughs on the André-Oort and Griffiths conjectures.
Each year the Maryam Mirzakhani New Frontier's and New Horizons Prizes are each awarded to up to three recipients by the Breakthrough Prize Foundation, and recognize early-career researchers.
