First part of the talk is introduction to Hamiltonian integrability. In the second part of the talk their quantum counterparts will be introduced with some examples. Important class of examples is related to moduli spaces of connections over surfaces.

Professor Nicolai Reshetikhin was born in Leningrad, former Soviet Union, now St. Petersburg, Russia. In 1982, he graduated from Leningrad State University with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree. In 1984, he graduated from the Steklov Institute of Mathematics and obtained a PhD degree. He has taught at well-known universities such as Harvard University, the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Amsterdam. He was invited twice to give a talk at the ICM International Conference of Mathematicians, one of which was a plenary talk. Professor Reshetikhin's main research interests include quantum topology, quantum groups and their representations, classical and quantum integrable systems, and integrable models statistical mechanics. He is one of the founders of quantum group theory, one of the authors of Reshetikhin-Turaev invariant, has important results in the theory of quantum integrable system, in Poisson and symplectic geometry, in the theory of quantum Kac Moody algebra. In 2010, he was elected as a Foreign member of the Royal Danish Academy. In 2021, he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
