Wendelin Werner

Wendelin Werner is a French mathematician who works on random processes such as self avoiding random walks, Brownian motion, Schramm Loewner evolution and related theories in probability theory and mathematical physics. In 2006, at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid, he received the Fields Medal for his contributions to the development of stochastic Loewner evolution, the geometry of two dimensional Brownian motion, and conformal field theory. He is Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge.
