Michael Brin

Michael Brin (originally Russian Михаил Израилевич Брин / Michail Israilewitsch Brin ; * 1948 ) is a Russian-American mathematician who deals with dynamic systems .

Life

In the early 1970s he worked with Jakow Pessin in the Soviet Union on partially hyperbolic dynamic systems and received his doctorate in 1975 from the Kharkiv State University under Dmitri Viktorovich Anosov (and Anatole Katok ) ( partial hyperbolicity ).

Brin's academic career was hindered in the Soviet Union because of his Jewish origins . He worked at Gosplan in economic planning, and his wife, who was also a mathematician, worked as an engineer in the construction industry. Brin therefore applied for an exit visa and was able to travel to the USA with his family in 1979. He went to the University of Maryland, College Park , where he became a professor.

He is the father of Google co-founder Sergey Brin .
