Previously, he was an Assistant Professor at the Masaryk University
and an IST Fellow at the Institute of Science and Technology in Austria.
He has twice been an invited speaker at the International Congress on
Mathematical Physics (ICMP). In 2018, he was awarded the IUPAP Young
Scientist Prize in Mathematical Physics for young researchers who perform
original work of outstanding scientific quality in mathematical physics.

École Polytechnique Fédérale de
Lausanne, Switzerland
Maryna Viazovska is a full professor at the École
Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland.
Previously, she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Berlin Mathematical
School and the Humboldt University of Berlin and a Minerva Distinguished
Visitor at Princeton University. Her research interests include number theory
and optimal configurations on manifolds.
In 2016, Viazovska solved the sphere-packing problem in dimension 8
and, in collaboration with others, in dimension 24. As well as for her work
on sphere packing, Viazovska is also known for her research on spherical
designs with Bondarenko and Radchenko. With them she proved a
conjecture of Korevaar and Meyers on the existence of small designs in
arbitrary dimensions.
Viazovska was an invited speaker at the 2018 International Congress
of Mathematicians, and is the recipient of numerous awards. In 2016,
she received the Salem Prize and, in 2017, the Clay Research Award
and the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize for her work on sphere packing and
