About
John Lott is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, specializing in Differential Geometry, Geometric Analysis, and Optimal Transport since his appointment in 2008. His research explores the interplay between Ricci curvature, metric-measure spaces, and geometric flows, with notable contributions to Ricci flow and noncommutative geometry. He has supervised multiple PhD students including Thunwa Theerakarn and Patrick Wilson, and maintains an active publication record with over 40 research papers.
- Selected Research Areas: Differential Geometry, Geometric Analysis, Optimal Transport, Mathematical Physics, Noncommutative Geometry
Recent Publications (2020-2025) focus on Kähler manifolds, collapsing geometry, and quasilocal mass in general relativity. His work on Ricci curvature via optimal transport with Cédric Villani has become foundational in the field.
