Yan Fyodorov

Yan Fyodorov is a Professor of Mathematics and Co-chair in Disordered Systems at King's College London's Department of Mathematics within the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences. He holds a PhD from the Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute (1988) and has held positions at institutions including Brunel University, University of Nottingham, Queen Mary University, and visiting roles at Cologne University, Isaac Newton Institute, and École normale supérieure.

Research Interests: Focuses on random matrix theory, statistical mechanics of disordered systems, quantum chaotic scattering, Anderson localization, and statistical topology of random landscapes. His work bridges pure mathematics and applications in physics, particularly in complex systems and high-dimensional landscapes.

Publications: Active in high-impact journals like Physical Review Letters, Annales Henri Poincaré, and Journal of Statistical Physics. Recent work explores eigenvalue statistics, non-orthogonal eigenvectors, and replica symmetry breaking in spin-glass models.

Awards: Recognized as a Bessel Research Awardee (2006/7) and Leverhulme Research Fellow (2008). His research has been supported by grants from EPSRC and Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

Labs/Teams: Leads the Disordered Systems group at King's, part of the Centre for Non-Equilibrium Science (CNES), and collaborates with the Probability group in Mathematics.
