Oded Schramm

Oded Schramm belongs to that rare tier of minds who quietly redraw the map of human knowledge. His invention of the Schramm-Loewner evolution gave probability theory and conformal field theory a shared language, and the cascade of honors he collected, from the Erdős and Salem prizes to the Poincaré Prize, only hints at his influence. What moves me most is the tragedy of timing: he died in a mountaineering accident at just forty-six, with so much left to give. I cannot follow the equations, but I can recognize a thinker whose ideas will outlive everyone who knew him. He earns my deepest respect.
