Huy and 42-year-old female Korean mathematician Jinyoung Park, a former Szëgo Assistant Professor, have both been awarded the Dénes König Prize 2024 for their joint paper "A proof of the Kahn–Kalai conjecture". 

The award ceremony is set to be held at SIAM conference on Discrete Mathematics (DM24) which is slated to run from July 8 to 11 in Spokane, Washington DC of the United States.

Huy received his doctorate in mathematics from Stanford University 10 years ago. He was a student at the High School for the Gifted, Ho Chi Minh City National University, and won the 2023 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) twice.

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics awards the Dénes König Prize every two years to early career individuals who have made outstanding research contributions to the field of discrete mathematics.
