Ciprian Manolescu (born December 24, 1978) is a
Romanian-American[2] mathematician, working in gauge theory, symplectic geometry, and low-dimensional topology. He is currently a professor of mathematics at Stanford University
.
Biography
Manolescu completed his first eight classes at
PhD thesis
topic was A spectrum valued TQFT from the Seiberg–Witten equations.
In early 2013, he released a paper detailing a disproof of the
E. H. Moore Prize from the American Mathematical Society.[4]
Awards and honors
He was among the recipients of the Clay Research Fellowship (2004–2008).
In 2012, he was awarded one of the ten prizes of the
Heegaard Floer homology.[5]
He was elected as a member of the 2017 class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to Floer homology and the topology of manifolds".[6]
In 2018, he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Rio de Janeiro.
In 2020, he received a
Simons Investigator Award.[7]
The citation reads: "Ciprian Manolescu works in low-dimensional topology and gauge theory. His research is centered on constructing new versions of Floer homology and applying them to questions in topology. With collaborators, he showed that many Floer-theoretic invariants are algorithmically computable. He also developed a new variant of Seiberg-Witten Floer homology, which he used to prove the existence of non-triangulable manifolds in high dimensions."
Competitions
He has one of the best records ever in mathematical competitions:
- He holds the sole distinction of writing three perfect papers at the International Mathematical Olympiad: Toronto, Canada (1995); Bombay, India (1996); Mar del Plata, Argentina (1997).[8]
- He placed in the top 5 on the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition for college undergraduates in 1997, 1998, and 2000.[9]
