Freddy Cachazo

In 2014, Cachazo was awarded the New Horizons Prize[1] for uncovering numerous structures underlying scattering amplitudes in gauge theories and gravity.[2] After graduating from Simón Bolívar University in 1996, Cachazo attended a year-long Postgraduate Diploma Programme at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy.Such understanding allows for both efficient computation of the probabilities of physical processes occurring and insights into the unknown structures of the gauge theories and gravity.In 2009, he was awarded the Gribov Medal for an outstanding work by a young physicist from the European Physical Society.[10][11] Finally, he won the 2014 New Horizons Prize,[1][2] which by many is regarded to be the most prestigious award for young theoretical physicists.
