Alessandro Carlotto
name:Prof. Dr. Alessandro Carlotto https://people.math.ethz.ch/~ac mailto:alessandro.carlotto@math.ethz.ch
Alessandro Carlotto serves as Principal Investigator for the ERC project CHANGE. A proud alumnus of the Scuola Normale Superiore, he obtained his PhD from Stanford University in 2014 defending a thesis entitled Rigidity and flexibility phenomena in general relativity, written under the direction of Richard Schoen. He was then a postdoc in the group of André Neves in London, and a Junior Fellow at the ETH Institute for Theoretical Studies, before joining the faculty of the department of Mathematics of ETH. Among several visiting positions, he was a member of the IAS in Princeton for the special year 2018-2019, devoted to Variational Methods in Geometry.

name:Dr. David Wiygul https://people.math.ethz.ch/~dwiygul mailto:david.wiygul@math.ethz.ch
David Wiygul received his PhD from Brown University under the direction of Nicos Kapouleas, defending a thesis entitled Doubling constructions with asymmetric sides. Since then he has obtained several significant results, including - jointly with Kapouleas - a strikingly simple, closed formula for the Morse index of Lawson surfaces in the three-dimensional sphere and a proof the uniqueness of such surfaces given their topology and symmetry group. He has been a postdoc in this project since September 1st, 2021.
