Andrew Putman (born October 22, 1979) is an American mathematician at the University of Notre Dame. His research fields include geometric group theory and low-dimensional topology.
Putman earned his bachelor's degree from Rice University. In 2007, he obtained his doctorate from the University of Chicago, under the supervision of Benson Farb. He was a C. L. E. Moore Instructor at MIT from 2007-2010, and then served on the faculty at Rice from 2010-2016. He then moved to Notre Dame, where he is currently the Notre Dame Professor of Topology.
In 2018, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. [1] In 2014, there was a Seminar Bourbaki talk by Aurélien Djament on Putman's work. [2] Further, in 2013, Putman received the Sloan Research Fellowship and a National Science Foundation CAREER Award. [3]
The University of Notre Dame du Lac, known simply as Notre Dame or ND, is a private Catholic research university in Notre Dame, Indiana, outside the city of South Bend. French priest Edward Sorin founded the school in 1842. The main campus covers 1,261 acres in a suburban setting and contains landmarks such as the Golden Dome, the Word of Life mural, Notre Dame Stadium, and the Basilica.
Luis Angel Caffarelli is an Argentine mathematician and luminary in the field of partial differential equations and their applications.
Arnold Ephraim Ross was a mathematician and educator who founded the Ross Mathematics Program, a number theory summer program for gifted high school students. He was born in Chicago, but spent his youth in Odessa, Ukraine, where he studied with Samuil Shatunovsky. Ross returned to Chicago and enrolled in University of Chicago graduate coursework under E. H. Moore, despite his lack of formal academic training. He received his Ph.D. and married his wife, Bee, in 1931.
