Philipp Habegger

Habegger was born on 23 July 1978.[1] He received his Ph.D. under the supervision of David Masser at the University of Basel in 2007.[2]

From 2008 to 2010, Habegger was a ETH Fellow at ETH Zurich.[1] He moved to the University of Zurich for a lectureship position in 2010.[1] In 2013, he was a von Neumann Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study.[3] As of 2021, Habegger is a professor of mathematics at the University of Basel.[4]

Habegger's research focuses on height functions and their applications to unlikely intersections.[3]
