H. Blaine Lawson
Herbert Blaine Lawson Jr. (born January 4, 1942 in Norristown , Pennsylvania ) is an American mathematician who studied differential geometry .
In 1969 he received his doctorate from Stanford University under Robert Osserman ("Minimal varieties in constant curvature manifolds"). He was a professor at Berkeley and is currently a professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook . In 1972/73 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study .
In 1970 he was a Sloan Research Fellow and in 1983 a Guggenheim Fellow . In 1994 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich (Spaces of algebraic cycles: levels of holomorphic approximation) and also in Vancouver in 1974 (Geometric aspects of the generalized Plateau problem).
He worked u. a. over minimal areas and foliage (foliations). In 1975 he received the Leroy P. Steele Prize for "Foliations" (Bulletin of the AMS, Vol. 80, 1974, pp. 369-418). In 1995 he was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences and in 2013 a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences .
He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
His PhD students include William Meeks and Michael Anderson.
