   Pioneered univalent foundations
   Developed univalent foundations of mathematics and homotopy type theory, revolutionizing the foundations of mathematics.
7. 2017 · age 51
   Death
   Died on September 30, 2017, in Princeton, New Jersey, after a distinguished career that transformed algebraic geometry and mathematical foundations.

Vladimir Voevodsky grew up in Moscow with a physicist father and chemist mother, providing a scientifically immersed household within the Soviet research establishment. He studied at Moscow State University before moving to Harvard, where he completed his PhD at 26 with foundational work on motivic homotopy theory. His early publications created an entirely new framework in algebraic geometry, and his originality was recognized immediately, leading to his Fields Medal for proving the Milnor conjecture.
