This Inmate Used Solitary Confinement to Learn Math. Now He s Solving the World s Hardest Equations
In 2010, Christopher Havens was sentenced to 25 years for murder. In 2020, his work in number theory was published in an academic journal. Feb 21, 2021
The walls of the cell where Christopher Havens was serving a 25-year murder sentence were covered in notebook paper.
The sheets filled with numeric and Greek scratchings had quickly overwhelmed his modest desk and were now forming a patchwork wallpaper that spread from that corner and began to wrap around the 8x12 room. The neatly nesting equations of the continued fractions guiding his chase could run on for 15 feet as he hunted for patterns that might offer a clue.

Alexander Kusenko, professor of physics and astronomy, and Chandrashekhar Khare, professor of mathematics and the David Saxon Presidential Term Chair in Mathematics, have been awarded 2021 fellowships from the Simons Foundation.
Kusenko, a fellow of American Physical Society, was awarded one of five fellowships in theoretical physics to support his research at the intersection of theoretical particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. His research expertise includes neutrino physics and astrophysics; primordial black holes, which could form in the early universe and could play an important role in generating heavy elements, such as gold and uranium, whose origin is a long-standing mystery; mysterious dark matter in the universe; gamma rays, ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays and their cosmic connections.
