Antonio Auffinger

Antonio Auffinger is a Brazilian mathematician. He works in the area of probability theory and mathematical physics.

Auffinger completed his doctorate at the Courant Institute in 2011; his dissertation was supervised by Gerard Ben Arous and was awarded the Francisco Aranda-Ordaz Prize by the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability.[1][2][3]

He was Leonard Eugene Dickson instructor at the University of Chicago[1] before moving in 2014 to Northwestern University, where he is an associate professor of mathematics.[4]

Auffinger won a National Science Foundation CAREER award in 2016.[1][5] In 2017, he was awarded a gold medal prize by the International Consortium of Chinese Mathematicians for his proof of the uniqueness of the Parisi measure in spin glasses.[1][6] He co-authored a book on first passage percolation published by the American Mathematical Society.[7]
