ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Jean Bourgain has been described as “one of the most brilliant analysts of our times” in the official press release announcing that Bourgain was to be awarded the prestigious Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences in 2010. Bourgain’s profound and fundamental contributions, by way of primarily analytical techniques, have resulted in the solutions to important and long-standing problems in probability theory, statistical mechanics, nonlinear partial differential equations, dynamical systems, combinatorics, and numbertheory. Analytical techniques that he has developedhavebecome standard tools in such diverse areas as the geometry of Banach spaces, harmonic analysis, ergodic theory, and nonlinear partial differential equations. A short list of the awards bestowed upon Bourgain include the Salem Prize in 1983, the Cartan Prize in 1990 and the Fields Medal in 1994, in addition to the Shaw Prize. Bourgain is currently Professor of Mathematics at School of Mathematics of the Institute for Advanced Study.
