A warm welcome to Yongbin Ruan and Anna Skorobogatova!
We are happy to announce the arrival of two new Fellows in February 2025.
Yongbin Ruan received his Ph.D from UC-Berkeley in 1991. He has been a faculty at University of Utah, University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Michigan. Since 2019, he has returned to his native China
to serve as a Professor at Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics at Zhejiang University. His main interest is in geometry and physics. His main works include the foundation of Gromov-Witten theory, Chen-Ruan cohomology and Fan-Jarvis-Ruan-Witten theory.
Yongbin Ruan will be staying in Zurich from February until the end of July 2025.
Anna Skorobogatova received her PhD in Mathematics from Princeton University in 2024 under the supervision of Camillo De Lellis. She is broadly interested in problems in geometric analysis, geometric measure theory, the calculus of variations and elliptic PDE. More specifically, her work focuses on the partial regularity and local structure of minimal surfaces and functions satisfying nonlinear elliptic PDEs.
