PhD student awarded Jane Street Graduate Research Fellowship
April 8, 2025
Joakim Faergeman, a PhD student in mathematics, is one of eight recipients of this year’s Jane Street Graduate Research Fellowship, which supports exceptional doctoral students currently pursuing a PhD in computer science, mathematics, physics, or statistics.
Faergeman’s research focuses on the geometric Langlands program, which seeks to use techniques from algebraic geometry and representation theory to understand the connections between number theory and harmonic analysis.
The fellowship includes tuition and fees for one academic year and a $45,000 stipend for living expenses. Fellows also have the opportunity to visit a Jane Street office to give a talk to employees and other fellowship recipients, all expenses paid.
