Prof. Pavel Exner is Scientific Director of the Doppler Institute for Mathematical Physics and Applied Mathematics at the Czech Technical University in Prague. He is internationally recognised for his contributions to mathematical quantum theory, with particular focus on spectral and scattering properties of quantum systems, quantum waveguides, quantum graphs, and manifolds.

His major research contributions include the analysis of geometrically induced effects in quantum waveguides and layers, singular Schrödinger operators, quantum graph vertex coupling approximations, Zeno dynamics, strongly singular Wannier-Stark systems, and Dirac operators with singular interactions. He has actively supervised many students and postdoctoral researchers in mathematical physics.

Prof. Exner has played a significant role in the international mathematical community. He served as Secretary and President of the International Association of Mathematical Physics (2006–2011), and as Vice-President (2005–2010) and President (2015–2018) of the European Mathematical Society. He was a founding member of the European Research Council (ERC) and served as its Vice-President (2011–2014).

He has received several prestigious awards, including the JINR Prize (1985) and the Neuron Prize (2016). He is a member of Academia Europaea, a foreign member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and an honorary member of the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society.

Prof. Pavel Exner has served as Officer of the Mathematics Division since March 2023, for the mandate March 2023 – March 2026 (current and first term, in accordance with the EurASc Bylaws).
