^Bloch, Spencer J.U.S. National Academy of Sciences. Accessed January 12, 2010. Election Citation: "Bloch has done pioneering work in the application of higher algebraic K-theory to algebraic geometry, particularly in problems related to algebraic cycles, and is regarded as the world's leader in this field. His work has firmly established higher K-theory as a fundamental tool in algebraic geometry."
