1. We are seeking to recruit research interns in any research area of the department. Please indicate in your application under which professor or lecturer you would like to complete your summer internship. The options are: Ragnar Freij-Hollanti, Camilla Hollanti, Tuomas Hytönen, Nuutti Hyvönen, Oscar Kivinen, Riikka Korte, Kalle Kytölä, Lasse Leskelä, Vanni Noferini, Sari Rogovin, Ahti Salo, Philine Schiewe.
2. We are seeking to recruit research interns in real, harmonic, and/or functional analysis, particularly on topics related to Tuomas Hytönen’s Academy Professor project “Commutators, compactness, and applications (COCOA)” (https://research.fi/en/results/funding/86249), which touches all these areas. Connections to probability theory may also be included, depending on the student’s background and interests. For more information, please visit Tuomas Hytönen (Otakaari 1, Y322).
3. We are seeking to recruit research interns in areas of mathematics related to mathematical physics. Possible topics include random geometry (SLE theory, Liouville quantum gravity, related areas), discrete probabilistic models of statistical physics, aspects of constructive quantum field theory or axiomatic conformal field theory, and representation theory. Preference will be given to students working on MSc or BSc projects. For more information, please contact Kalle Kytölä (kalle.kytola "at" aalto.fi) or Eveliina Peltola (eveliina.peltola "at" aalto.fi).
