Michael Hopkins is a renowned Harvard mathematics professor and algebraic topologist who met with Jeffrey Epstein multiple times between 2014-2016. Hopkins is the George Putnam Professor of Pure and Applied Mathematics at Harvard and won the prestigious Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry. The documents show these meetings were arranged through Martin Nowak, director of Harvard's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, which received funding from Epstein.

How many times did Michael Hopkins meet with Jeffrey Epstein?

The documents show at least 3-4 confirmed meetings between 2014-2016, with scheduling emails indicating appointments in April 2014, June 2014, October 2014, and December 2016. These were typically hour-long sessions at Harvard facilities or the Charles Hotel in Cambridge.

What was the nature of Hopkins' connection to Epstein?

Hopkins appears to have been part of Epstein's network of relationships with elite Harvard mathematicians and scientists. The meetings were coordinated through Martin Nowak's institute, suggesting they were framed as academic or intellectual discussions. There is no evidence in these documents of personal friendship, financial relationship, or knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities—the correspondence is entirely professional scheduling exchanges.
