Alain-Sol Sznitman (born December 13, 1955 in Paris ) is a French mathematician who deals with probability theory.

Live and act

Sznitman studied at the École normal supérieure , was then from 1979 a scientist at the CNRS at the University of Pierre and Marie Curie (Univ. Paris VI), where he received his doctorate in 1983 (Doctorat d'Etat). In 1984/85 he was at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University , where he became Associate Professor in 1987 and Professor in 1990. In 1991 he became a professor at the ETH Zurich , where he was director of the Research Institute for Mathematics from 1995 to 1999 .

Sznitman is known for his work on stochastic systems of many interacting particles (with a variable number of particles, "Propagation of Chaos") and Brownian motion with traps and obstacles.

In 1991 he received the Rollo Davidson Prize and in 1999 the Loève Prize . In 1989 he was a Sloan Research Fellow . In 1992 he gave a plenary lecture at the first European Congress of Mathematicians in Paris ( Brownian motion and obstacles ). In 1998 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Berlin ( Brownian motion and random obstacles ) and in 1992 he gave a plenary lecture at the first European Congress of Mathematicians. He is on the advisory board of the Paris Institute Henri Poincaré .

He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society and since 2008 a full member of the Academia Europaea .
