Søren Galatius (born 1 August 1976) is a Danish mathematician who works as a professor of mathematics at the University of Copenhagen.[1] He works in algebraic topology, where one of his most important results concerns the homology of the automorphisms of free groups.[2] He is also known for his joint work with Oscar Randal-Williams on moduli spaces of manifolds, comprising several papers.

Life

[edit]

Galatius was born in Randers, Denmark. He earned his PhD from Aarhus University in 2004 under the supervision of Ib Madsen.[1][3] He then joined the Stanford University faculty, first with a temporary position as a Szegő Assistant Professor and then two years later with a tenure-track position, eventually becoming full professor in 2011. He relocated to the University of Copenhagen in 2016.[1]

Recognition

[edit]

In 2010, Galatius won the Silver Medal of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters.[1] In 2012, he became one of the inaugural fellows of the American Mathematical Society.[4] He was an invited speaker at the 2014 International Congress of Mathematicians, speaking about his joint work with Oscar Randal-Williams.[1][5] In 2017, he won an Elite Research Prize from the Danish Government for his work.[6] In 2022 he was awarded the Clay Research Award jointly with Oscar Randal-Williams.[7]
