- In 2018, Birkar's Fields Medal was stolen, but he received a replacement medal afterward[1].
- The Fields Medal is one of the highest honors in mathematics, recognizing outstanding achievements by mathematicians under 40 years old[2].
- Caucher Birkar's groundbreaking work has left a lasting impact on the field, and he continues to be recognized, with a Fields Medal Symposium in his honor in 2023[5].
- For more insights into Caucher Birkar's contributions, a video interview with him is available[4][6].
