Yevgeny Liokumovich is a mathematician whose research focus on geometry. He is an assistant professor at the University of Toronto Mississauga.[1] In 2016, together with Fernando Codá Marques and André Neves, he solved a conjecture of Mikhael Gromov on a Weyl law for the volume spectrum in compact Riemannian manifolds, which was one of the reasons for which Liokumovich was awarded the André Aisenstadt Prize in 2022.[2][3]

Liokumovich grew up in Kazahkhstan before moving to Canada.[4] He obtained his PhD at the University of Toronto in 2015, with Alexander Nabutovsky and Regina Rotman as advisors, with the thesis Sweepouts of Riemannian surfaces.[5]

He was awarded a Sloan Fellowship in 2021,[6][7] and a Simons Fellowship in 2025.[8]
