Benjamin Schlein (born 28 May 1975 in Lugano, Switzerland) is an Italian [1] mathematician and professor at the University of Zurich. Schlein's research is mathematical physics. He works in mathematical analysis of many-body quantum systems and random matrix theory.
Schlein studied theoretical physics at ETH Zurich and received his PhD in 2002 under the supervision of Jürg Fröhlich. [2] From 2004 to 2005 he was an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University and from 2005 to 2006 at Harvard University. From 2006 to 2007 he was an assistant professor at University of California, Davis. During 2007-2008 he was a Research Fellow, supported by Kovalevskaja Award at LMU Munich. From 2007 to 2010 he was a lecturer at Cambridge University. [3] From 2010 to 2014 he was a Hausdorff Chair at the University of Bonn in Germany. [1] [4] He has been a professor at the University of Zurich since 2014. [1] [5]
He was one of the four editors-in-chief of the Journal of Functional Analysis in 2022–24. [6]
In 2006, Schlein received the Sofja Kovalevskaja Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. [7] In 2009, he was awarded the Young Scientist Prize of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) for outstanding results in mathematical analysis of many-body quantum systems, in particular, Bose gases [8] . In 2018, Schlein was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians. [9]
He is the brother of Italian politician Elly Schlein. [10]
Alain Connes is a French mathematician, known for his contributions to the study of operator algebras and noncommutative geometry. He is a professor at the Collège de France, Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, Ohio State University and Vanderbilt University. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 1982.
Michael (Mike) Charles Reed is an American mathematician known for his contributions to mathematical physics and mathematical biology.
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany bestowed the Sofia Kovalevskaya Award from 2002 to 2020. Sofia Kovalevskaya (1850–1891) was the first major Russian female mathematician, who made important contributions to mathematical analysis, differential equations and mechanics, and the first woman appointed to a full professorship in Northern Europe. This prestigious award named in her honor was given to promising young academics to pursue their line of research in the sciences or arts and humanities. The foundation encouraged applications from all areas of the academy so long as the investigator had received a Ph.D. in the previous six years and could be categorized as "top flight" by their publications and experience as commensurate with age.
Vlatko Vedral is a Serbian-born British physicist. He is best known for his contributions to quantum information theory, quantum mechanics, and quantum entanglement.

Florencia Canelli is since 2021 the appointed Swiss scientific delegate to the CERN council, the supreme decision-making authority of the CERN Organization. From 2021-2024, she was appointed chair of the IUPAP division of particles and field (C11). From 2021-2023, she was co-coordinator of the physics program of the CMS collaboration, a CERN experiment with over 3000 physicists. In 2010, Canelli was awarded the IUPAP Young scientist prize, an international prize awarded to one experimental and one theoretical physicist per year, for "her pioneering contribution to the identification and precision measurements of rare phenomenon through the use of advanced analysis techniques to separate very small signals from large background processes at the Tevatron collider." She has been an author on four multi-purpose collider experiments, namely the CMS experiment and ATLAS experiment at the CERN LHC, and the CDF experiment and D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. She is currently a full professor at the University of Zurich, Physics Institute, specializing in particle physics.
