André da Silva Graça Arroja Neves (born 1975, Lisbon) is a Portuguese mathematician and a Professor at Imperial College London. In 2012, jointly with Fernando Codá Marques, he solved the Willmore conjecture.
Neves received his Ph.D. in 2005 from Stanford University under the direction of Richard Melvin Schoen.[1]
He was awarded the Philip Leverhulme Prize in 2012, the LMS Whitehead Prize in 2013, invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul in 2014 and he was awarded a New Horizons in Mathematics Prize in November 2015, "for outstanding contributions to several areas of differential geometry, including work on scalar curvature, geometric flows, and his solution with Codá Marques of the 50-year-old Willmore Conjecture."[2]
Jointly with Fernando Codá Marques he was awarded the 2016 Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry.[3]
