June Huh (born 1983) is a Korean American mathematician and a Visiting Professor in the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study.[1]
Huh was born in California but grew up in South Korea.[2] He obtained his Ph.D. in 2014 from the University of Michigan, with a thesis written under the direction of Mircea Mustaţă.[3]
In joint work with Karim Adiprasito and Eric Katz, he resolved the Heron–Rota–Welsh conjecture on the log-concavity of the characteristic polynomial of matroids.[4][2] With Adiprasito, he is one of five winners of the 2019 New Horizons Prize for Early-Career Achievement in Mathematics, associated with the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics.[5]
Huh was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2018 in Rio de Janeiro.
