Nomination of two new Full Professors at SB
Prof. Xue-Mei Li and Prof. Martin Hairer
At its meeting of 13-14 July 2022, the ETH Board has named Prof. Xue-Mei Li and Prof. Martin Hairer as Full Professors at the School of Basic Sciences (SB)
Professor Xue-Mei Li, currently Full Professor at Imperial College London, United Kingdom, has been appointed as Full Professor of Mathematics starting from November 1, 2022.
Xue-Mei Li’s expertise lies at the interface of stochastic analysis and differential geometry. Her research, which has been published in numerous leading journals, has made a significant contribution to the geometric analysis of stochastic processes on differentiable varieties, as well as to Malliavin calculus and infinite-dimensional analysis. The appointment of Xue-Mei Li will considerably strengthen EPFL's excellent reputation in the areas of probability and stochastic processes.

Professor Martin Hairer, currently Full Professor at Imperial College London, United Kingdom, has been appointed as Full Professor of Mathematics starting from November 1, 2022.
Martin Hairer is a mathematician globally renowned for his breakthrough work at the intersection of analysis and probability. In 2014 he won the Fields Medal for visionary work which introduced a radical new way of constructing solutions for certain nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations which had been intractable before, and which are of great importance in particular to physics. The appointment of Martin Hairer to EPFL will give strong impetus to analysis in particular and mathematics in general, consolidating EPFL as one of the world’s leading centres for analysis.
