Antti Knowles

Antti Knowles is a Full Professor at the University of Geneva, Section of Mathematics. His research lies at the intersection of probability theory, mathematical physics, and analysis, with a strong focus on random matrices, random graphs, and quantum dynamics. He leads the research group Analysis, Mathematical Physics and Probability and mentors postdocs and doctoral students.

Research Interests: Prof. Knowles's work spans a wide range of topics including random matrices, random graphs, statistical mechanics, stochastic processes, high-dimensional statistics, quantum field theory, and quantum dynamics. His contributions are foundational in understanding spectral properties of complex systems and their physical implications.

Publications: His recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on spectral theory of random graphs and matrices, delocalization phenomena, and quantum statistical mechanics. These works often appear in top-tier journals such as Communications in Mathematical Physics, Annals of Probability, and Journal of the European Mathematical Society.

Grants & Support: He has received significant funding from the European Research Council (ERC) and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation through projects RandMat (2017–2022) and ProbQuant (2022–2027).

Editorial Work: Prof. Knowles serves on the editorial boards of Annales de l’Institut Fourier, Annals of Applied Probability, L'Enseignement Mathématique, and Journal of Statistical Physics.
