==Academic career==
After earning his PhD, Clausen spent five years as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen. He then moved to Bonn, Germany, where he was first a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bonn and then the head of a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics. In 2020, Clausen returned to the University of Copenhagen as an associate professor. Since 2023, he has held a position as a permanent professor at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHÉS).<ref name="www.ihes.fr">{{Cite web |title=Dustin Clausen, mathematician.

==Research and contributions==
Clausen's research has focused on algebraic K-theory and its connections to number theory and homotopy theory. Along with Peter Scholze, he has developed the concept of condensed mathematics,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.math.uni-bonn.de/people/scholze/Condensed.pdf |title=Lectures on Condensed Mathematics|last=Scholze|first=Peter|year= 2019}}</ref> which aims to provide a framework for topological algebraic structures.
