New Faculty

One Associate Professor:

Milen Yakimov is a 2001 Berkeley graduate with interests in Integrable Systems, Representation Theory, and Poisson Geometry. He was a Sloan Fellow and a Clay Liftoff Fellow.

Two Assistant Professors:

Phuc Cong Nguyen is a 2006 graduate from the University of Missouri. He was a Research Assistant Professor at Purdue. His main interest is PDEs with either an applied or geometric and harmonic analysis flavor. Among his recent work is an upcoming joint authored Annals paper.

Hongchao Zhang is a 2006 graduate from the University of Florida program in Applied Mathematics. He was an IMA Industrial postdoc. His interests are Nonlinear Programming and its Applications. He joins the department on a joint 50/50 position with the CCT.

Two VIGRE Postdocs:

Chris Bremer is graduating from the University of Chicago as a student of Spencer Bloch. His thesis is along the lines of the Langlands program involving algebraic geometry, representation theory, and number theory.

Mark Bilinski is graduating from Georgia Tech and is a student of Xingxing Yu. His research is in graph theory. A recent joint paper of his ". . . is a major step forward in the work on the reconstruction of planar graphs. [MathSciNet review]".
