Career

Stanislav Smirnov graduated

Caltech, with Nikolai Makarov as his primary thesis advisor.[3]

After spending time at Yale University and Princeton's

Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm in 1998. In 2003, he become a professor in the Analysis, Mathematical Physics and Probability group at the University of Geneva.[4][5]

In 2010, Smirnov became the founding director of the Chebyshev Laboratory in Saint Petersburg State University in Russia.

Research

Smirnov has worked on

conformal invariance.[6] The conjecture was proved in the special case of site percolation on the triangular lattice.[7] Smirnov's theorem has led to a fairly complete theory for percolation on the triangular lattice, and to its relationship to the Schramm–Loewner evolution introduced by Oded Schramm. He also established conformality for the two-dimensional critical Ising model.[8]

Awards

Smirnov was awarded the

conformal invariance of percolation and the planar Ising model in statistical physics".[10]
