Chris Brav

简历

Christopher Brav will join the Shanghai Institute for Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Sciences (SIMIS) as Professor from August 2024. Currently he is a Lead Scientific Researcher at the Centre of Pure Mathematics at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. He obtained his Ph.D. in Mathematics at Queen’s University in 2008, after which he was a post-doc at the University of Toronto, Leibniz University Hannover, and Oxford University. Before moving to the Faculty of Mathematics at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow, he spent a year as a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

Professor Brav is working on the relation between Calabi-Yau categories (non-commutative analogues of Calabi-Yau manifolds) and shifted symplectic geometry of moduli spaces, as well as on using condensed mathematics to study infinite dimensional shifted symplectic spaces appearing in representation theory and mathematical physics. His work has been published in leading journals including Compositio Mathematica, Geometry and Topology, Journal of the American Mathematical Society, and Selecta Mathematica.
