Mihalis Dafermos
Mihalis Constantine Dafermos (* October 1976 ) is a Greek mathematician who studies Partial Differential Equations in General Relativity (GTR).
Dafermos studied mathematics at Harvard University with a bachelor's degree summa cum laude in 1997 and received his doctorate from Princeton University under Demetrios Christodoulou in 2001 ( Stability and Instability of the Cauchy Horizon for the Spherically Symmetric Einstein-Maxwell-Scalar Field Equations ) from 2001 to 2004 he was a Moore Instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . He has been Lecturer since 2004 , Reader since 2006 and Professor of Mathematical Physics at Cambridge University since 2011 . He has also been Professor of Mathematics at Princeton since 2013. He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
He is known for his work on the exact mathematical treatment of GTR, for example the stability problem of spacetime in the vicinity of black holes , where he worked together with Igor Rodnianski and Alan Rendall , among others .
He received the Adams Prize in 2004, the Bodossaki Prize in 2008 and the Whitehead Prize in 2009 . In 2008 he received an ERC Starting Grant and in 2009 the Early Career Award from the International Association of Mathematical Physics . In 2014 he was invited speaker at the ICM in Seoul (The mathematical analysis of black holes in general relativity).
