June Huh (born 1983) is a Korean American mathematician and professor at Princeton University. Previously, he was a Visiting Professor in the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study and at Princeton University, and a Professor at Stanford University.[1][2]
Early life and education[]
Huh was born in California but grew up in South Korea.[3] Early in his career he was mentored by Fields medalist mathematician Heisuke Hironaka, who went to Seoul National University as a visiting professor.[4] Huh obtained his Ph.D. in 2014 from the University of Michigan, with a thesis written under the direction of Mircea Mustaţă.[5]
Career[]
In joint work with Karim Adiprasito and Eric Katz, he resolved the on the log-concavity of the characteristic polynomial of matroids.[6][3] With Adiprasito, he is one of five winners of the 2019 New Horizons Prize for Early-Career Achievement in Mathematics, associated with the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics.[7]
Huh was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2018 in Rio de Janeiro.
