Antti Knowles (UNIGE) Promoted to Full Professor

25 Feb 2025

Antti Knowles has been promoted to Full Professor at the University of Geneva’s Section of Mathematics, effective January 1st, 2025. His research lies at the intersection of probability, analysis, and mathematical physics, with a focus on random matrices, random graphs, statistical mechanics, stochastic processes, high-dimensional statistics, quantum field theory, and quantum dynamics.

He obtained a doctorate in theoretical physics from ETH Zürich in 2010 and has been in Geneva since 2016. He has received several distinctions for his work, including two European Research Council (ERC) grants: an ERC Starting Grant in 2016 and an ERC Consolidator Grant in 2022.

Beyond his research and teaching, Professor Knowles serves as Vice-Chair of the Section of Mathematics at the University of Geneva and is a member of the National Centre of Competence in Research SwissMAP. He sits on the editorial boards of several journals and is an elected member of the Executive Committee of the International Association of Mathematical Physics (IAMP).
