Dustin Clausen is an American-Canadian[1] mathematician known for his contributions to algebraic K-theory and the development of condensed mathematics, in collaboration with Peter Scholze. His research interests include the intersections of number theory and homotopy theory.
Early life and education
[edit]Dustin Clausen completed his undergraduate studies at Harvard University.[2] He received his PhD in 2013 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT),[2] where he was supervised by Jacob Lurie. His doctoral thesis was titled "Arithmetic Duality in Algebraic K-Theory."[3]
Academic career
[edit]After earning his PhD, Clausen spent five years as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen. He then moved to Bonn, Germany, where he first served as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bonn and subsequently as the head of a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics. In 2020, Clausen returned to the University of Copenhagen as an associate professor. Since 2023, he has held a position as a permanent professor at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHÉS).[2]
Research and contributions
[edit]Clausen's research has focused on algebraic K-theory and its connections to number theory and homotopy theory. Along with Peter Scholze, he has developed the concept of condensed mathematics,[4] which aims to provide a framework for topological algebraic structures.
Awards and honors
[edit]- NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (2008)[2]

- Hoopes Prize (2008)[2]
- Hartmann Foundation's Diploma Prize (2022)[2]
Personal life
[edit]Dustin Clausen is the grandson of mathematician John T. Tate (1925–2019), and the great grandson of Emil Artin.
