Harry Tamvakis received his B.S. (Ptychion) in Mathematics from the University of Athens in 1990, and his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1997. After holding postdoctoral and Assistant Professor positions at the University of Pennsylvania and Brandeis University, respectively, he joined the faculty at Maryland in 2006.
Tamvakis' research lies mainly in algebraic geometry and intersection theory, with a focus on the homogeneous spaces of Lie groups and Schubert calculus. He has studied problems in Arakelov theory, quantum cohomology, and the theory of degeneracy loci. The work connects many different areas of mathematics, such as number theory, complex differential geometry, representation theory, and algebraic combinatorics.
Jonathan Rosenberg received his A.B. from Harvard University in 1972, has a master's degree from the University of Cambridge, and got his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1976. He came to Maryland in 1981 after 5 years at the University of Pennsylvania. He held a Sloan Research Fellowship and is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, and has held the Ruth M. Davis Professorship since 2008. He has served on the Council of the American Mathematical Society and on the editorial boards of more than half a dozen major
mathematics journals.
Rosenberg's research is in a mixture of geometry, topology, analysis, and algebra. He is particularly interested in geometry and topology of manifolds, index theory, noncommutative geometry, and applications to mathematical physics.
