Michael Drazin
Michael Peter Drazin (born June 5, 1929 in London ) is a British - American mathematician who studies non-commutative algebra.
Drazin studied at the University of Cambridge with a bachelor's degree in 1950, a master's degree and a doctorate with Robert Alexander Rankin (and David Rees ) in 1953 ( Contributions to Abstract Algebra ). As a post-doctoral student , he was at the Admiralty Research Laboratory in Teddington until 1955 . He was then a Fellow of Trinity College in Cambridge and 1957/58 visiting professor at Northwestern University and from 1958 to 1962 at the Research Institute for Advanced Study in Baltimore . In 1962 he became an associate professor and in 1991 professor at Purdue University . He retired in 1999.
He deals with non-commutative rings , theory of matrices , theory of semigroups (semigroups with involutions ) and combinatorial problems. A generalized inverse matrix ( Drazin-Inverse ) is named after him.
He is a US citizen.
