Dustin Clausen

Dr. Dustin Clausen is a Permanent Professor at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES) since 2023 and holds the Jean-Pierre Bourguignon Chair. His research bridges algebraic K-theory, number theory, and homotopy theory, with notable contributions to condensed mathematics developed alongside Peter Scholze. This innovative framework redefines analytic geometry through algebraic and topological integration.

• Education: Harvard University (undergraduate), MIT (PhD, 2013)
• Prior Positions: Postdoctoral researcher in Copenhagen (2013-2018), postdoc and research group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn (2018-2020), Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen (2020-2023)

His work explores deep connections in arithmetic geometry and homotopy theory, with a focus on unifying abstract mathematical structures.
