Kurt Johansson is a Full Professor of Mathematics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. His academic journey includes roles as Associate Professor at KTH (1993-2001) and Uppsala University (1988-1993), alongside research funded by the Swedish Natural Science Research Council (1998-2003). His primary affiliations are within the Department of Probability, Mathematical Physics & Statistics at KTH, where he also coordinates courses on Differential Equations and Fourier Analysis. Education: BSc in Physics (1982) and PhD in Mathematics (1988), both from Uppsala University. Research interests focus on Probability Theory , Mathematical Physics , and Random Matrix Theory , with contributions to stochastic models, determinantal processes, and universality in statistical mechanics. Key Awards: Wallenberg Prize (1995), Rollo Davidson Prize (2000), Göran Gustafsson Prize (2002), Fellow of the American Mathematical Society (2012), and multiple Wallenberg Scholar grants (2011-2023). Grants: Major funding from the Swedish Research Council (VR), K&A Wallenberg Foundation, and others. His research group explores Random Matrices, Stochastic Models, and Analysis , with notable work on the Arctic Circle Theorem and KPZ universality class. Recent publications analyze Brownian directed percolation and domino tilings of the Aztec diamond, reflecting his focus on interdisciplinary applications of probability and mathematical physics.
