Richard BamlerBuilt a compactness and structure theory for Ricci flow in all dimensions; with Bruce Kleiner, proved Perelman's conjecture on flow through singularities.
Kyeongsu ChoiStudies singularities of curvature flows: ancient solutions, the mean convex neighbourhood conjecture in R^3, and roundness under Gauss curvature flow.
Panagiota DaskalopoulosTrained in nonlinear diffusion; with Hamilton, Šešum, Angenent and Brendle, classified compact ancient solutions of Ricci and curve shortening flows.
Robert HaslhoferProved the mean convex neighbourhood conjecture at necks with collaborators, reworked mean convex flows with Kleiner, defined weak Ricci flow with Naber.
Tim LauxProved convergence of thresholding schemes to multiphase mean curvature flow and developed uniqueness and stability theory for its weak solutions.
Nataša ŠešumClassified compact ancient solutions of Ricci flow and curve shortening with Daskalopoulos, Hamilton, Angenent and Brendle; shared the 2023 Satter Prize.
Yong WeiUses curvature flows to prove Alexandrov–Fenchel inequalities in hyperbolic space and the sphere, and proved stability for the G2 Laplacian flow.
Peibiao ZhaoProves sharp Michael–Simon inequalities in hyperbolic space by curvature flow, solves Minkowski-type problems, and carries flows into the Heisenberg group.
