Vladimir Marković is John D. MacArthur Professor of Mathematics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and was Sadleirian Professor of Pure Mathematics at the University of Cambridge (2013-2014).[6][7][8]

Education

Marković was educated at the University of Belgrade where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in 1995 and a Ph.D. in 1998 for research supervised by Miodrag Mateljević.[4][9][10]

Career and Research

Previously, Marković has held positions at the University of Warwick for ten years,[11][12] Stony Brook University and the University of Minnesota.[5] Marković was also editor of Geometriae Dedicata from 2009 to 2013.[3]

Marković's research interests are in low dimensional geometry, topology and dynamics and functional and geometric analysis.[3] His research has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Royal Society.[3]

Awards and honours

Marković was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2014.[2] 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.[1]

Marković was also awarded the Clay Research Award in 2012, Whitehead Prize and Philip Leverhulme Prize in 2004.[3] He was an Invited Speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in the Geometry Section and Dynamical Systems Section, Seoul, Korea in 2014.[3]

In Fall of 2015 Marković worked as an Institute for Advanced Study member. In 2016 he received a Simons Investigator Award.[13]
