The CAIMS Cecil-Graham Doctoral Dissertation Award is presented to Dr. Chai Molina for his work of remarkable depth and breadth in the field of evolutionary game theory, which contains results significant to application, as well as theoretical results that have implications not only in the field but also in broader areas of applied mathematics. Dr. Molina received his Ph.D from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McMaster University under the supervision of Professor David Earn. He will soon be starting a postdoctoral position at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria.
