The Society for Mathematical Biology awards two prizes, the Akira Okubo Prize and the Art Winfree Prize.
The Akira Okubo Fund was established in memory of Akira Okubo, who made major
contributions to many fields, including mathematical ecology and oceanography.
Okubo was widely recognized for his scientific work, as well as for his
exceptional humanity.
The objective of the Akira Okubo Prize is to honor a living scientist for
outstanding and innovative theoretical work, for establishing superb conceptual
ideas, for solving tough theoretical problems, and/or for uniting theory and
data to advance a biological subject.
The Akira Okubo prize is jointed administered by the Society for Mathematical
Biology and the Japanese Society for Mathematical Biology.
