Shachar
Carmeli

Dr. Shachar Carmeli is a mathematician specializing in homotopy theory, which examines the properties of shapes that remain unchanged under slight alterations. He studies commutative ring spectra, which extend the concept of algebraic rings—mathematical structures with specific addition and multiplication rules. He also works in chromatic homotopy theory, a field that addresses complex problems in homotopy theory by organizing them into different levels based on repeating patterns. His work has contributed to recent breakthroughs in several open problems in this field.

Shachar’s research deepens our understanding of fundamental mathematical structures, contributing solutions to longstanding open problems in the field of homotopy theory

Shachar earned a BSc in mathematics from Tel Aviv University, and an MSc and PhD in mathematics from the Weizmann Institute of Science. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen. Originally from Abirim, Shachar now resides in Kibbutz Na’an. During his studies, he volunteered several times in a summer camp for adults with cerebral palsy, organized by the ILAN Association. In his free time, Shachar enjoys practising Thai boxing, hiking in nature, and spending quality time with his family.
