Andrew Kresch

Andrew Harold Kresch (born 1972) is an American mathematician specializing in algebraic geometry and a professor at the University of Zurich.

Kresch won a silver medal at the 1989 International Mathematical Olympiad. He studied at the Yale University and received his PhD from University of Chicago in 1998 under the supervision of William Fulton on Chow Homology for Artin Stacks. He was lecturer at the University of Warwick and became a full professor at the University of Zurich in 2006.

In 2024 Kresch became an elected member of Academia Europaea.
