Joel Kamnitzer

Joel Kamnitzer (* around 1978) is a Canadian mathematician.

Kamnitzer studied at the University of Waterloo (bachelor's degree 2001) and received his doctorate in 2005 from the University of California, Berkeley with Allen Knutson (Mirkovic-Vilonen cycles and polytopes). As a post-graduate student , he was at MIT, MSRI, and Berkeley. In 2008 he became Assistant Professor and then Associate Professor at the University of Toronto .

He deals with (geometric and combinatorial) representation theory, algebraic geometry, knot homology according to Mikhail Khovanov .

From 2011 to 2012 he was co-editor of the Mathematische Zeitschrift . In 2011 he received the André Aisenstadt Prize . 2012–2014 he was a Sloan Fellow .
