He was named to the 2021 class of fellows of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to algebraic topology and related areas of algebraic geometry, representation theory, and mathematical physics". In 2022 he received for the second time the 327:(published in 1988). The rest of the Ravenel conjectures (except for the telescope conjecture) were proven by Hopkins and Smith soon after (published in 1998).
