Kurt Johansson (mathematician) explained

Kurt Johansson (born 1960) is a Swedish mathematician, specializing in probability theory.

Johansson received his PhD in 1988 from Uppsala University under the supervision of Lennart Carleson and is a professor in mathematics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.^[1]

In 2000 Johansson was awarded the Rollo Davidson Prize in Probability theory. In 2002 he was an invited speaker of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing^[2] and was awarded the Göran Gustafsson Prize. In 2006 he was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. In 2012 he was elected a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
