Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the winner of the Mathematics 2020 Young Investigator Award is Dr. Ángel Alberto Magreñán Ruiz.

Dr. Magreñán is currently a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the Department of Mathematics and Computation at the University of La Rioja, Spain. He has provided salient contributions to applied mathematics and mathematics 
education. Major contributions distinguishing him include the following: (1) local and semilocal convergence of iterative methods with and without memory, enlarging the problems (such us chemical problems, differential 
equation problems, or modeling problems) that can be solved using these iterative methods. (2) Dr. Magreñán has also studied the dynamical properties of different iterative methods, including real dynamics and a tool to study real dynamics or complex dynamics with two parameters, which has been used by many authors. (3) Dr. Magreñán is productive and influential in the fields of applied mathematics and mathematics education. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Magreñán on receiving this award and for his outstanding achievements.

As the awardee, Dr. Magreñán will receive an honorarium of 2000 CHF and an engraved plaque.

We would like to thank all the nominators from various fields of study for their participation and all the Award Committee Members for their evaluation of the many excellent nominations.
