Christian Kassel

Christian Kassel (* 1951 ) is a French mathematician who studies algebra .

Kassel received his doctorate in 1981 under Jean-Louis Loday at the University of Strasbourg ( Homologie du groupe linéaire général et K-théorie stable ). He is a professor at the University of Strasbourg, where he was director of the IRMA (Institut de Recherche Mathématique Avancée) from 2000 to 2004. He is also the research director of the CNRS .

Kassel deals, among other things, with quantum groups , about which he wrote a widespread textbook, Lie algebras , algebraic K-theory, Hopf algebras and Zopf groups .

He is President of the Scientific Council (Conseil Scientifique) of the Institut National des Sciences Mathématiques et de leurs Interactions (INSMI).

He was at the Institute for Advanced Study several times (1984–85, 1987–88, 1994–95). His daughter Fanny Kassel works as a mathematician at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques .
