The Ramanujan Prize Selection Committee has announced that the 2008 Srinivasa Ramanujan Prize will be awarded to Enrique R. Pujals, Associate Researcher a the Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (IMPA), Brazil. Pujals is being honoured for "his outstanding contributions to Dynamical Systems, especially the characterization of robust dynamics for flows and trasformations and the development of a theory of generic systems." Pujals has visited ICTP several times to attend the workshops on Dynamical Systems since 1995, as a participant first and as speaker more recently, including in 2008. The Prize has been supported by the Niels Henrik Abel Memorial Fund, with the participation of the International Mathematical Union.
