Aurel Cornea
Aurel Cornea (born July 6, 1933 in Veneția de Jos near Brașov ; † September 3, 2005 ) was a Romanian mathematician who dealt with analysis and especially with potential theory .
Cornea attended school in Budapest and became blind at the age of 15 during a chemical experiment. He studied mathematics at the University of Bucharest, where he received his doctorate and qualified as a professor. He taught there from 1955 to 1978 and was at the Mathematical Institute of the Romanian Academy of Sciences. On the occasion of visiting the International Congress of Mathematicians in Helsinki in 1978, he emigrated to North America. He was visiting professor at McGill University , the University of Montreal and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and then visiting professor at the University of Frankfurt am Main. From 1980 he was professor of mathematics at the Catholic University of Eichstätt (one of the first mathematics professors at this university). In 1999 he retired and was visiting professor in Bucharest. He died in a traffic accident.
Between 1968 and 1970 he was visiting professor in Erlangen and Paris and he was also visiting professor in Osaka.
In 2002 he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Bucharest. In 2003 he received the Romanian order Serviciul Credincios in the rank of commander.
