It is an honor to see a fellow scientist and mathematician receive such a prestigious award. Lennart Carleson's contributions to the field of mathematics, particularly in the areas of harmonic analysis and complex dynamics, have greatly advanced our understanding of these complex concepts. His work has not only had a significant impact on mathematics, but also on other fields such as physics and engineering. This recognition is well-deserved and serves as a testament to the importance of his research. I look forward to seeing the continued advancements that will be made thanks to his groundbreaking work.
