Speaker Intro

Sergey Oblezin received his PhD at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 2004. Education in Moscow and work experience at the Alikhanov Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics shaped his intra-disciplinary vision in mathematics, based on a unique and mutually transformative synthesis of quantum physics and mathematics. At early stage, his research achievements were recognized by several awards including two Russian Federation President Fellowships for young mathematicians (in 2007-2008 and 2008-2009). In 2009-2012, Sergey's research was awarded by the Pierre Deligne Prize (supported by P.Deligne's Balzan Prize, 2004). In 2013-17 Sergey's project "Topological field theories, Baxter operators and the Langlands programme" was supported by the EPSRC Established Career EPSRC grant (UK). During 2015-2023, Sergey was an Associate Professor in Geometry at the University of Nottingham (UK), before taking his current full-time Professor position at BIMSA in 2024.

Sergey Oblezin is working on a long term research project devoted to transferring and developing methods and constructions of quantum physics to the Langlands Program. His research interests include representation theory, harmonic analysis and their interactions with number theory and mathematical physics.

Member Seminar Intro

The BIMSA member seminar is a weekly event during which researchers engage in discussions about their extensive research interests, addressing a diverse audience that includes fellow researchers and all postdoctoral scholars within the institute. This forum provides a unique privilege and an invaluable opportunity for each research faculty member, serving as a speaker, to introduce their research field, promote the subject within the institute, and ignite the potential for future collaborations with other research groups within the institute.

The lecture format consists of a 30-minute colloquium-style presentation, thoughtfully tailored to be accessible to postdoctoral scholars and researchers from diverse disciplines within the institute. Following the presentation, a 15-minute discussion session is anticipated, involving active participation from postdocs representing various fields.

It is mandatory for all postdocs at the institute to actively participate in this event. The enthusiastic involvement of faculty members is greatly valued and will prove mutually beneficial for both the speaker and the junior audience.
