We are kicking off #10YearsHLFF with a brand new HLF Laureate Portrait!
This series has been updated and the new portrait shines a light on Alessio Figalli @AFigalli. The Fields Medal recipient talks about his life, career and his passion for mathematics.

Not every day you get to have lunch with a Nobel Laureate and 2 Fields Medallists, but I love that this can happen at @ETH_en… Thank you for the inspiring conversation @AFigalli @DidierQueloz @VillaniCedric, I hope to see you again very soon! @FieldsInstitute@NobelPrize
The call for Hermann-Weyl-Instructorship positions for 2022 is now open and applications can be handed in until 1 Nov. These postdocs positions are jointly financed by the D-MATH and the FIM. https://t.co/md7aSdqWqK

📢New book📢
An Invitation to Optimal Transport, Wasserstein Distances, and Gradient Flows
Alessio Figalli @AFigalli (@ETH) & Federico Glaudo (@ETH)
This book provides a self-contained introduction to optimal transport, and it is intended as a starting point for researchers.
👉Xavier Fernandez-Real👈 was awarded the #ETHmedal for his doctoral thesis: "Regularity theory for thin obstacle problems" supervised by @AFigalli. Congratulations 🎉

Monday evening watching the #FieldsMedalSymposium and the nice interview with @FryRsquared finally asking @AFigalli all the questions that we always meant to ask, like "HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO COMPLETE THE PHD IN 8 MONTHS?"😂

@AFigalli expressing what we've all experienced in the pandemic: interacting with students or collaborators online is just not the same, but we do what we can.
He too agrees the virus will not just go away.

As @AFigalli explained, mathematics makes advances by a combination of curiosity driven research, and problem solving for applications. Both are needed. @ESOF_eu
"Moving masses cheaply", this is how Fields medalist @AFigalli summarized the goal of his #mathematics interests in his keynote at #ESOF2020 . But cartoonist @Leo_Ortolani warned him that pushing the boundaries of the field can have consequences🤣
