Lecturer Intro
Anton Dzhamay received his undergraduate education in Moscow where he graduated from the Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics (MIEM) in 1993. He got his PhD from Columbia University under the direction of Professor Igor Krichever in 2000. After having postdoc and visiting positions at the University of Michigan and Columbia University, Anton moved to the University of Northern Colorado, getting tenure in 2011, becoming a Full Professor in 2016, and now transitioning to the Emeritus status in 2025. In 2023–2024 Anton was also a Visiting Professor at BIMSA, he became a permanent BIMSA faculty in Summer 2024 . His research interests are focused on the application of algebro-geometric techniques to integrable systems. Most recently he has been working on discrete integrable systems, Painlevé equations, and applications.
