In memoriam Eduard Zehnder
We are very sad to announce that Professor Eduard Zehnder has passed away on 22 November 2024 at the age of 84.
Eduard Zehnder is widely recognised as one of the founders of modern symplectic topology. His involvement in the solution of the Arnold conjecture and his contribution to the introduction of the Hofer-Zehnder capacity are just two examples of his impressive legacy.
After his studies at ETH and other international positions, he took up a professorship at the Department of Mathematics in 1987, where he worked until his retirement in 2006.
