Silver Medal At IOI 2000 Representing Latvia (rank 54, 430/700)PhD In Mathematics, Cornell University (advisor Yulij Ilyashenko)Associate Professor Of Mathematics, Constructor University BremenResearcher In Complex Dynamical Systems, Kneser-Poulsen Conjecture, And Holomorphic Dynamics

Igors Gorbovickis is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Constructor University (formerly Jacobs University Bremen), working in dynamical systems, complex analysis, analytic differential equations and discrete geometry. He earned his PhD in Mathematics at Cornell University (advisor Yulij Ilyashenko, co-advisor Robert Connelly) after a B.S. with High Honors from Moscow State University. As a Latvian high school student he won a silver medal at the International Olympiad in Informatics in 2000 and both bronze (2000) and silver (2001) medals at the International Mathematical Olympiad.

Igors Gorbovickis is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Constructor University in Bremen, Germany, where he works on complex dynamical systems. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from Cornell University, where he worked under Yulij Ilyashenko and Robert Connelly, and a B.S. with High Honors from Moscow State University. His research spans dynamical systems, complex analysis, analytic differential equations and discrete geometry, with work on the Kneser-Poulsen conjecture, multipliers of periodic orbits, Lorenz maps and Julia sets. Before university he was a decorated Latvian maths and informatics competitor, winning a silver medal at IOI 2000 and IMO medals in 2000 and 2001.

Notes
  • Confirmed as the Latvian IOI 2000 silver medallist: CPHOF profile (country Latvia) shows IOI 2000 silver, rank 54, score 430/700.
  • Contact: work email [contact omitted], office phone [private detail omitted], Constructor University, Research I Room 111, Bremen.
  • Both Olympiad medals (IOI silver 2000, IMO silver 2001) came while he was still a Latvian school student, before he moved to Moscow State University in 2001 - he is a product of the Latvian olympiad training pipeline he later returned to teach in.
  • PhD in Mathematics at Cornell University (2006-2012) under Yulij Ilyashenko, co-advised by Robert Connelly; B.S. with High Honors from Moscow State University (2006).
  • Also a strong mathematics competitor: IMO silver medal 2001 and bronze medal 2000, alongside the IOI 2000 silver.
  • Career is a clean Eastern-to-Western academic arc: Latvia (school) -> Moscow State University (2001-2006, Ilyashenko) -> Cornell PhD (2006-2012, same advisor Ilyashenko, co-advised by Connelly) -> Jacobs University/Constructor University Bremen, where he is now Associate Professor.
  • Research matured from discrete geometry / Kneser-Poulsen conjecture (Cornell-era papers) into complex dynamics (multipliers, Lorenz maps, Julia sets) at Constructor University - the publication record shows a deliberate pivot toward holomorphic dynamics.
  • Long-running volunteer educator: TA at annual summer camps for gifted middle- and high-school students in Latvia, 2001-2010.
  • Translated Ilyashenko & Yakovenko's 'Lectures on analytic differential equations' into Russian.
  • Fluent in English, Russian and Latvian.
  • Member of Cornell Chess Club 2006-2009.
