Yevgeny Liokumovich

Yevgeny Liokumovich is a mathematician whose research focus on geometry. He is an assistant professor at the University of Toronto Mississauga. In 2016, together with Fernando Codá Marques and André Neves, he solved a conjecture of Mikhael Gromov on a Weyl law for the volume spectrum in compact Riemannian manifolds, which was one of the reasons for which Liokumovich was awarded the André Aisenstadt Prize in 2022.

Liokumovich grew up in Kazahkhstan before moving to Canada. He obtained his PhD at the University of Toronto in 2015, with Alexander Nabutovsky and Regina Rotman as advisors, with the thesis Sweepouts of Riemannian surfaces.

He was awarded a Sloan Fellowship in 2021, and a Simons Fellowship in 2025.
