Joseph A. Thas

Joseph Adolphe François Thas (born October 13, 1944 in Dilbeek , Belgium) is a Belgian mathematician who deals with combinatorics and its applications in geometry (finite geometries).

Thas received his doctorate in 1969 from the University of Ghent with Julien Bilo ( A study concerning the projectieve rights over de totale matrix algebra of the 3x3 matrices with elements in an algebraic afgesloten veld K ${\ displaystyle M_ {3} (K)}$ ). He is a professor at Ghent University.

In 1994 he received the Euler Medal . In 1998 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin ( Finite geometries, varieties and codes ). In 1969 he received the Prize of the Royal Belgian Academy of Sciences , in 1970 the Louis Empain Prize and in the same year the Francois Deruyts Prize of the Royal Belgian Academy of Sciences . He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .

In 1988 he became a member of the Royal Flemish Academy of Sciences and Arts in Belgium, of which he was vice director in 1998 and director in 1999.
