Vladimir Marković FRS (born 1973) is Sadleirian Professor of Pure Mathematics at the University of Cambridge and John D. MacArthur Professor of Mathematics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).[7][8][9]
Education
Marković was educated at the University of Belgrade where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in 1995 and a PhD in 1998 for research supervised by Miodrag Mateljević.[2][10][11]
Career and Research
Previously, Marković has held positions at the University of Warwick,[12] Stony Brook University and the University of Minnesota.[4] Markovic was also editor of Geometriae Dedicata from 2009 to 2013.[1]
Marković's research has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Royal Society.[1]
Awards and honours
Marković was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2014.[6] His nomination reads:
| “ | Markovic is a world leader in the area of quasiconformal homeomorphisms and low dimensional topology and geometry. He has solved many famous and difficult problems. With Jeremy Kahn, he proved William Thurston's key conjecture that every closed hyperbolic 3-manifold contains an almost geodesic immersed surface.[5] | ” |
Marković was also awarded the Clay Research Award in 2012, Whitehead Prize and Philip Leverhulme Prize in 2004.[1]
