Early life and education

Rempe earned his Master of Arts degree in mathematics from State University of New York at Stony Brook in 2000^[1] and his doctorate at the University of Kiel in Germany.^[8]

Awards

In June 2010, Rempe was awarded a Whitehead Prize by the London Mathematical Society for his work in complex dynamics, in particular his research on the escaping set for entire functions.^[9]

In 2012 he was awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize.^[10]

He was elected as a member of the 2017 class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to complex dynamics and function theory, and for communication of mathematical research to broader audiences".^[11]
