Biography

Seidel attended the University of Heidelberg, where he received his Diplom under supervision of Albrecht Dold in 1994. He then pursued his Ph.D. studies at the University of Oxford under supervision of Simon Donaldson (Thesis: Floer Homology and the Symplectic Isotopy Problem) in 1998.

In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.

In 2012 he became a Simons Investigator.

He is married to Ju-Lee Kim, who is also a professor of mathematics at MIT.
