Sergey Fomin
Sergey Fomin ( Russian Сергей Фомин , German transcription Sergei Fomin ; born February 16, 1958 in Leningrad ) is a Russian-American mathematician.
Fomin studied at the Leningrad State University with his degree in 1979 and his doctorate in 1982 with Leonid Vladimirovich Ossipow and Anatoly Vershik (rate of convergence in the multidimensional central limit theorem). From 1982 to 1991 he was at the State University of Electrical Engineering (LETI) in Saint Petersburg (as a lecturer) and from 1992 to 2000 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Assistant Professor 1993, Associate Professor 1996), before becoming Associate Professor in 1999 and Professor at the in 2001 University of Michigan became. Since 2007 he has been the Robert M. Thrall Collegiate Professor . In addition, from 1991 to 2005 he was a scientist at the Institute for Computer Science and Automation of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg. He was visiting researcher at the Mittag-Leffler Institute (1992, 2005), at the MSRI , the Isaac Newton Institute , the University of Strasbourg (IRMA), the Hausdorff Institute in Bonn and the Erwin Schrödinger Institute for Mathematical Physics in Vienna. He deals with combinatorics and their application in algebra, geometry and representation theory and introduced cluster algebras with Andrei Zelevinsky . He also dealt with counting geometry (Schubert calculus) and mathematical physics (including Yang-Baxter equation, Bethe approach).
In 2012 he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society . He was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians 2010 in Hyderabad (Total positivity and cluster algebras). For 2018 he received the Leroy P. Steele Prize for Seminal Contribution to Research from the American Mathematical Society.
He has Russian and US citizenship. Fomin has been married since 1979 and has two children.
