Lasse Rempe (born 20 January 1978) is a German mathematician born in Kiel. [1] His research interests include holomorphic dynamics and function theory. [3] He currently holds the position of Professor of Pure Mathematics at the University of Manchester. [3] . He previously worked at the University of Liverpool from 2006 to 2024, [4] holding the "Shipowners' Chair" of Pure Mathematics from 2020 to 2024. [5] Rempe recorded the voiceover for a BBC feature on the art of mathematics, where he explained how certain pictures have arisen from dynamical systems. [6]
From 2012 to 2020, he used the name Lasse Rempe-Gillen. [7]
Rempe earned his Master of Arts degree in mathematics from State University of New York at Stony Brook in 2000 [1] and his doctorate at the University of Kiel in Germany. [8]
In June 2010, Rempe was awarded a Whitehead Prize by the London Mathematical Society for his work in complex dynamics, in particular his research on the escaping set for entire functions. [9]
In 2012 he was awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize [10]
He was elected as a member of the 2017 class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to complex dynamics and function theory, and for communication of mathematical research to broader audiences". [11]
