Clark Edward Barwick (born January 9, 1980) is an American mathematician and professor of pure mathematics at the University of Edinburgh.
[1][2] Barwick was then a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, and received his PhD in mathematics in 2005 under the direction of Tony Pantev.
Barwick held postdoctoral fellowships at the Mathematisches Institut Göttingen (2005–2006) and at the Matematisk Institutt, Universitetet i Oslo (2006–2007).
[2] Barwick spent the year 2007–2008 at the Institute for Advanced Study, and from 2008–2010 was a Benjamin Peirce Lecturer at Harvard.
Barwick won the 2019 Berwick Prize of the London Mathematical Society for his paper "On the algebraic K-theory of higher categories" where he "proves that Waldhausen's algebraic K-theory is the universal homology theory for ∞-categories, and uses this universality to reprove the major fundamental theorems of the subject in this new context.
