Stanislav Smirnov is a Professor at the University of Geneva's Department of Mathematics since 2003 and Head of the Chebyshev Laboratory at St. Petersburg State University since 2010. He holds a Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology (1996) and a B.Sc./M.Sc. from St. Petersburg State University (1992). His research focuses on mathematical physics, probability, complex analysis, and dynamical systems, with groundbreaking contributions to the understanding of critical phenomena in statistical physics. Key achievements include receiving the Fields Medal (2010), the highest honor in mathematics, for his work on percolation and the Ising model. He has organized major international conferences, such as the 'St. Petersburg School in Probability & Statistical Physics' (2012) and the '2D Statistical Physics Workshop' (2013). His academic career includes positions at Yale University, the Max-Planck Institute, and KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Education: Ph.D., Mathematics, California Institute of Technology (1996) B.Sc./M.Sc., Mathematics (with honors), St. Petersburg State University (1992) Awards: Fields Medal (2010) European Research Council Advanced Grants (2008, 2013) Rollo Davidson Prize (2002) Salem Prize (2001) Smirnov’s research bridges probability theory and complex analysis, with notable results on conformal invariance in two-dimensional models. His work has advanced understanding of critical exponents, percolation thresholds, and the universality of phase transitions. He advises doctoral students and collaborates internationally on projects funded by Swiss and European grants. He co-organized over 20 conferences worldwide, including plenary talks at the International Congress of Mathematicians (2006, 2010) and the World Congress in Probability and Statistics (2012). His lab fosters interdisciplinary research, linking mathematics to physics and computer science.
