معرفی
Andrew Putman is the Notre Dame Professor of Topology in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Notre Dame, part of the College of Science. He holds a PhD from the University of Chicago (2007) and a BA from Rice University (2002). His research focuses on geometric and topological properties of infinite groups, including mapping class groups, automorphism groups of free groups, and lattices in Lie groups. His work integrates geometric group theory, algebraic topology, hyperbolic geometry, and representation theory.
Putman has received prestigious awards such as the Simons Fellowship (2024), AMS Fellow (2018), and Sloan Research Fellowship (2013–2015). He has authored over 50 publications and secured significant grants, including NSF funding for research on topological aspects of group theory and cohomology.
His research interests span geometry, topology, group theory, and representation theory, with recent work exploring high-dimensional cohomology of moduli spaces and stability phenomena in homology. He has advised numerous graduate students and postdocs, including Daniel Studenmund and Neil Fullarton, and has organized conferences such as Braids in Algebra, Geometry, and Topology (2017).
Putman is actively involved in academic service, serving on the AMS Council and organizing initiatives like the Notre Dame Program in Mathematics for High School Students. His teaching spans advanced courses in topology, algebraic geometry, and calculus.
