Alan Rendall
Alan Rendall (born July 18, 1963 in Kirkwall ) is a British mathematician and mathematical physicist.
Life
Rendall studied mathematics at the University of Aberdeen with a bachelor's degree in 1984 and received his doctorate in mathematics from GS Hall in 1987 ( Some aspects of curvature in general relativity ). As a post-doctoral student he was at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching near Munich (and 1992 Visiting Assistant Professor at Syracuse University ). In 1994/95 he did research at IHES . From 1995 to 2013 he worked at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Golm near Potsdam .
In addition to gravitation ( general theory of relativity ) in the context of geometric analysis and the theory of partial differential equations, he later devoted himself to mathematical biology. He also deals with mathematical models of the immune system .
In 2000 he qualified as a professor at the TU Berlin (Global Properties of Solutions of Einstein's Equations with Matter) and was then a private lecturer there.
Since 2013 he has been Professor of Analysis at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.
Awards
In 1997 he received the Whittaker Prize .
