Recruitment of young senior mathematics researchers to Sweden

Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation has allocated SEK 50 million for recruitment of four pre-eminent mathematics researchers to three Swedish universities.

Paul Nelson, von Neumann Fellow at the Institute for advanced Study, Princeton University, USA. He will be conducting research over a six-year period at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. His field is analytic number theory.

Cheuk Yu Mak, postdoc at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. He will be spending five years researching at Uppsala University. His field is symplectic geometry and Floer theory, and their relationship to algebraic geometry and low-dimensional topology.

Rachel Skipper, postdoc at Ohio State University, USA. She will be researching for five years at Stockholm University. Her field is group theory. 

Markus Hausmann, postdoc at the University of Bonn, Germany. He will conduct research at Stockholm University over a five-year period. His field is algebraic topology and several closely related areas.
