Background

Khanin received his Ph.D. from the Landau Institute of Theoretical Physics in Moscow and continued working there as a Research Associate until 1994.[2] Afterwards, he taught at Princeton University, at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge, and at Heriot-Watt University before joining the faculty at the University of Toronto. Khanin was an invited speaker at the European Congress of Mathematics in Barcelona in 2000. He was a 2013 Simons Foundation Fellow.[3] He held the Jean-Morlet Chair at the Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques in 2017, and he was an Invited Speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2018 in Rio de Janeiro.[4][5]

gollark: I have an e-ink kindle somewhere. Did you know that they run basically everything as root, and that the UI seems to mostly use web technologies for some bizarre reason?
gollark: Indeed. It makes people less likely to try and actually investigate how their system works and treat it as a black box.
gollark: Chromebooks and iPhones and kind of Android phones/tablets (especially on newer versions) use general purpose processors, but with locked bootloaders and limited OSes. Generally to give the company making them a monopoly on app distribution/data gathering and to make DRM schemes "work".
gollark: Or, well, try to.
gollark: There seems to be an increasing trend to make computing stuff not general-purpose, which is annoying.
