Karim Adiprasito
Hebrew University of Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, Israel
University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen,
Denmark
Karim Alexander Adiprasito is a Professor at the University of Copenhagen
and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem who works in the field of
combinatorics, but combines methods from algebra, geometry and topology
in innovative ways, solving problems in a wide range of areas.
Adiprasito is the recipient of numerous prizes, including the European Prize
in Combinatorics in 2015 for “his wide-ranging and deep contributions to
discrete geometry”, as well as the Klachky prize of the Hebrew University
in 2017. He has been selected as a Wallenberg academy fellow in 2018.
His work is supported by a grant from the Israel Science Foundation and a
2016 ERC starting grant. Most recently, he was awarded the prestigious New
Horizons Prize in Mathematics (2018) for the development of combinatorial
Hodge theory leading to the resolution of the log-concavity conjecture of
Heron-Rota-Welsh.
Simion Filip
University of Chicago
Simion Filip studies the interactions between
dynamical systems, especially on locally
homogeneous and Teichmuller spaces, and
