Boris Aronowitsch Chessin , internationally known as Boris Khesin , Russian Борис Аронович Хесин , (* 1964 ) is a Russian-Canadian mathematician.

Khesin studied at Lomonosov University with a diploma in 1986 and received his doctorate in 1989 under Vladimir Arnold ( Normal forms and versal deformations of evolution differential equations ). From 1990 to 1992 he was Morrey Assistant Professor at the University of California, Berkeley and from 1992 to 1996 Assistant Professor at Yale University . In 1997/98 and 2012 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study . In 1996 he became an Associate Professor and in 2002 Professor at the University of Toronto .

Khesin deals with mathematical physics ( hydrodynamics , integrable systems), global analysis (Poisson geometry, gauge theories ) and infinitely dimensional Lie groups .

He was a visiting scientist at the Weizmann Institute , the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics , the Fields Institute , IHES , MSRI , the RIMS in Kyoto and the University of Tokyo , the Isaac Newton Institute , the ETH Zurich and the École polytechnique .

From 1997 to 2001 he was a Sloan Research Fellow . In 1998 he received the André Aisenstadt Prize .

He is co-editor of the collected works of Vladimir Igorewitsch Arnold .
