Fredrik Viklund

I'm a professor in the Department of Mathematics. I hold a Wallenberg Academy Fellowship (prolongation grant) and my research is supported by grants from the Swedish Research Council (VR) and the Ruth and Nils-Erik Stenbäck Foundation. I received my PhD from KTH and I spent 2010-2013 as a Simons Fellow and J. F. Ritt Assistant Professor at Columbia University. I'm currently the director of the Master's Programme in Mathematics (TMAKM).

My main areas of interest are in complex analysis, probability, and mathematical physics. For example, the geometry of Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) curves; critical lattice models; random walks; Laplacian growth and aggregation models; conformal field theory;  the Loewner equation; multifractal analysis; boundary behavior of conformal maps and Loewner energy. I am also interested in computer science and some aspects of applied mathematics.
