Richard Melrose
Richard Burt Melrose (* 1949 in Australia ) is an Australian mathematician who studies geometric analysis, partial differential equations and differential geometry .
Melrose received his PhD from Cambridge University in 1974 with F. Gerard Friedlander. He was then a Research Fellow at St John's College , Cambridge. In 1977 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study . He is a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he has been a faculty since 1976. Since 2006 he has been Simons Professor of Mathematics there . From 1999 to 2002 he was chairman of the committee for pure mathematics at MIT.
In 1984 he received the Bôcher Memorial Prize for his work on scattering theory. He has been a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences since 1986 . In 1992 he was a Guggenheim Fellow. He was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Helsinki in 1978 ( Singularities of solutions of boundary value problems ) and in Kyoto in 1990 (Plenary lecture: Pseudodifferential operators, corners and singular limits ).
