PhD Susanna Heikkilä, University of Helsinki (Magnus Ehrnrooth received prize for the best doctoral dissertations in mathematics accepted at a Finnish university last year, €5,000)
Her dissertation Quasiregular geometry: from maps to curves concerns mathematical analysis, in particular quasiconformal geometry. The main theme of the dissertation is properties of quasiregular maps, quasiregular curves, and quasiregularly elliptic closed manifolds. The dissertation consists of four articles.
The Grand Prize – the 2025 Professor E.J. Nyström’s Prize (€50,000) – was awarded to Professor Leif B. Andersson (Uppsala University) for his outstanding contribution to genome biology of domestic animals and natural animal populations.
