Eliashberg on the campus of Stanford University in 2020, the year he was awarded the Wolf Prize, together with Simon Donaldson. The Wolf Foundation described Eliashberg's mathematical accomplishments thus: "Professor Yakov Eliashberg is awarded the Wolf Prize for his foundational work on symplectic and contact topology changing the face of these fields, and for his ground-breaking contribution to homotopy principles for partial differential relations and to topological foundations of multi-dimensional complex analysis."
