Gabriel Navarro receives the Spanish Royal Society of Maths Medal

RESME and BBVA Foundation celebrate the award ceremony at this location every year, as well as math research awards named after the Universitat de València professor Vicent Caselles.
On this year’s edition, RESME awarded three personalities of the Spanish Math Science scene: former University of Murcia Full-Time University Professor Ángel Ferrández, retired University of Granada Full-Time University Professor María del Carmen Batanero, and Universitat de València Full-Time University Professor in Algebra Gabriel Navarro.
According to RESME, Dr. Navarro ‘has made essential contributions to those large and deep problems in pure maths and algebra, particularly in the representation of finite groups’.
So in 2024, he was the only Spanish member of the international team that proved the 1955 formulated ‘Brauer’s zero height conjecture’ right.
His research study basic science, that is, according to the UV full-time professor. ‘the science studying the essential problems, the great mysteries of science’, a research that ‘generates much knowledge to be applied to societal problems, from quantum physics to telecommunication, molecular structures and artificial intelligence’.

In the words of RESME, professor Navarro pointed out that maths are having a spectacular moment now in spain, and that the goal to reach even higher is one ‘we can and should have’.
Universitat de València Principal Maria Vicenta Mestre and UV Faculty of Math Science Dean and Vice-Dean Lucía Sanus attended the ceremony.
