Ödül Tetik (UZH, A. Cattaneo Group) is a PhD student since November 2019. His research interests are in various approaches to the quantisation of field theories. 
How did the virus spread across the globe? What are the transmission patterns within Switzerland? Tanja Stadler will shed light on these questions by exploring information encoded in SARS-CoV-2 genomes in combination with data on confirmed cases. 
ETH Zurich article: The renowned Royal Society has elected Wendelin Werner as its member. This means that the ETH mathematician now officially belongs to the "Foreign Members of the Royal Society (ForMemRS)". 
We are glad to announce that during the academic lockdown, we have shifted our different operations online and maintained close contact with our community. 
Welcome! We are glad to inform you that we have launched our new NCCR SwissMAP website. It includes many new features amongst which: Visibility to all members, Online events & Press coverage. 
Yuta Sekiguchi (UniBE, S. Reffert Group) received his PhD for his thesis "Topics inspired by the Omega-deformed string background". He will be an early postdoc at Imperial College London. 
Donald Ray Youmans (UniGE A. Alekseev Group) speaks to us about his thesis defense and his future plans. He will defend his thesis on the 14th of May. 
Yanpeng Li (UniGE A. Alekseev Group) will be defending his thesis entitled: "Tropicalization in Poisson Geometry and Lie Theory" on Friday 08th of May 2020. 
This week Mathscope invites 12-15 year olds to participate on a challenging 5 day Escape Game (FR). In this journey, every day a new question is published allowing participants to unlock the next level... 
Our member Corinna Ulcigrai (UZH) is the recipient of the 2020 Brin Prize for Dynamical Systems for her fundamental work on the ergodic theory of locally Hamiltonian flows on surfaces, of translation flows on periodic surfaces and wind-tree models, and her seminal work on higher genus generalizations of Markov and Lagrange spectra. 
We are glad to announce the launch of our SwissMAP Research Station (SRS) website. The Station, a joint venture of the University of Geneva and ETH Zurich, will open in January 2021 and will be based in Les Diablerets, Switzerland. 
From October 2020, Stefano Massai (ETH Zurich, Gaberdiel Group) will be starting a new position at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Padova. 
Mathscope has put in place a number of exciting activities and teaching materials (FR) to be used at home, as well as the possibility of personal teachers support. 
Quantamagazine article on our member Nicolas Gisin's research: Does Time Really Flow? New Clues Come From a Century-Old Approach to Math.
