Bio-sketches of the lecturers
Ilia Binder is a professor at the University of Toronto and the chair of the Department of Mathematical and Computational Sciences at the University of Toronto Mississauga. He obtained his bachelor's degree from St. Petersburg State University and his Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology. He then held positions at IAS Princeton, Harvard, and UIUC before moving to the University of Toronto. He has a very broad interest in mathematics and produced more than 30 papers in areas including Geometric Function Theory, Statistical Physics, Probability, Computational Complexity, and Dynamical Systems.
Mario Bonk is a professor at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he recently finished his tenure as the Chair of the Department of Mathematics, and an elected fellow of the American Mathematical Society. He received his PhD from the Technical University of Braunschweig in Germany in 1988, and was a professor at University of Michigan before moving to UCLA. Bonk's research interests lie at the interface of geometry and analysis, including classical complex analysis, the geometry of negatively curved spaces, dynamics of rational maps, and analysis on metric spaces. His current work often relies on an extension of classical results in geometry and analysis to a non-smooth or fractal setting. He has co-authored a research monograph on “Expanding Thurston maps” and written about 60 research articles. He was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Madrid in 2006.
Pekka Pankka received his PhD from the University of Helsinki in 2005, and is now a professor at the University of Helsinki and the Vice President of Finnish Mathematical Society. His research interests include analysis of complex variables, metric geometry, geometric topology, and focus on quasiconformal mappings in particular. In these areas, he has produced more than 40 research articles, publishing on renowed journals including Acta Mathematica and Duke Mathematical Journal.
John Erik Fornæss received his PhD from the University of Washington in 1974 and has held positions as a professor at the Princetion University, the University of Michigan, and Norwegian University of Science and Technology. He has produced around 200 papers, publishing on renowed journals such as Ann. of Math. (4 papers), Invent. Math. (5 papers), Duke Math J. (10 papers), etc. He is an elected fellow of the American Mathematical Society, the European Mathematical Society, and the Norwegian Mathematical Society. He was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Warszawa in 1983.
