Revealing new mathematics through symmetries

Group theory has its roots in the early nineteenth century, and is now used in all branches of mathematics. One of the people to discover the notion of “group” to organize objects in algebra and geometry was a young French mathematician called Évariste Galois, (1811–1832). Since then, other prominent mathematicians have built further upon his theory of groups.

Wushi Goldring is one of those following in the Frenchman’s footsteps. He is a Wallenberg Academy Fellow at Stockholm University, where he conducts research and teaches mathematics, specializing in new applications of group theory.
