Dustin Clausen is an American-Canadian[1] mathematician known for his contributions to algebraic K-theory and the development of condensed mathematics, in collaboration with Peter Scholze. His research interests include the intersections of number theory and homotopy theory.

Early life and education

Dustin Clausen completed his undergraduate studies at Harvard University.[2] He received his PhD in 2013 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT),[3] where he was supervised by Jacob Lurie. His doctoral thesis was titled "Arithmetic Duality in Algebraic K-Theory."[4]

Academic career

After earning his PhD, Clausen spent five years as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen. He then moved to Bonn, Germany, where he first served as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bonn and subsequently as the head of a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics. In 2020, Clausen returned to the University of Copenhagen as an associate professor. Since 2023, he has held a position as a permanent professor at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHÉS).[5]

Research and contributions

Clausen's research has focused on algebraic K-theory and its connections to number theory and homotopy theory. Along with Peter Scholze, he has developed the concept of condensed mathematics,[6] which aims to provide a framework for topological algebraic structures.

Awards and honors

Personal life

Dustin Clausen is the grandson of mathematician John T. Tate (1925–2019), and the great grandson of Emil Artin.
