Kronheimer. His thesis topic was A spectrum valued TQFT from the Seiberg–Witten equations. His research interests span the areas of gauge theory, symplectic geometry, algebraic topology, and low-dimensional topology.
He is among the handful of recipients of the Clay Research Fellowship (2004–2008).
He was the winner of the Morgan Prize, awarded jointly by AMS-MAA-SIAM, in 2002. His undergraduate thesis was on Finite dimensional approximation in Seiberg–Witten theory.
He has one of the best records ever in mathematical competitions:
- He holds the sole distinction of writing three perfect papers at the International Mathematical Olympiad: Toronto, Canada (1995); Bombay, India (1996); Mar del Plata, Argentina (1997).
