Fredrik Viklund

Fredrik Viklund is a Professor at the Department of Mathematics, KTH Royal Institute of Technology. He holds the Wallenberg Scholar title and receives research funding from the Swedish Research Council (VR) and the Gustafson Foundation. His research focuses on the intersection of complex analysis, probability, and mathematical physics, with applications to computer science and applied mathematics.

• PhD from KTH
• Simons Fellow and J.F. Ritt Assistant Professor at Columbia University
• Associate Professor at Uppsala University

Research interests include:

• Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) curves
• Critical lattice models
• Laplacian growth and aggregation
• Conformal field theory
• Teichmüller theory
• Gaussian fields

Recent publications focus on Coulomb gases, Loewner energy, Hele-Shaw flows, and lattice Yang-Mills theories. Notably, his work explores the interplay between Loewner chains and Dirichlet energies.
