Ethan M. Ackelsberg
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Institute of Mathematics at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne as part of the group in ergodic theory.
Previously, I was a postdoctoral member in the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study, participating in the special year on "Applications of Dynamics in Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry."
I completed my PhD in the Department of Mathematics at Ohio State University under the direction of Vitaly Bergelson.
My research interests lie at the intersection of ergodic theory, Ramsey theory, and combinatorial number theory. For more on my research, see my publications page.
A downloadable pdf version of my CV is available here.
