Semyon Dyatlov is a Professor of Mathematics at MIT, having received tenure in July 2019 after joining the faculty as an Assistant Professor in January 2015. He obtained his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in 2013 under the guidance of Maciej Zworski. His research focuses on quantum chaos, microlocal analysis, dynamical systems, and scattering theory. Notably, he has received several prestigious awards including the Clay Research Fellowship (2013-2018), Sloan Research Fellowship (2017-2021), an NSF CAREER grant (2018-2024), the Early Career Award from the International Association of Mathematical Physics (2018), and the inaugural AMS-EMS Mikhail Gordin Prize (2022). He is also a recipient of the AMS Bôcher Memorial Prize (2026) and was awarded the MIT Teaching with Digital Technology Award in 2020. Dyatlov's recent research integrates microlocal analysis with the mathematical theories underpinning classical and quantum physics, particularly in relation to hyperbolic dynamics and chaotic systems. His contributions include studies on the Pollicott-Ruelle resonances of hyperbolic dynamical systems and quasi-normal modes in general relativity.
