Austrian-British mathematician
Sir Martin Hairer (born 14 November 1975[ 2] stochastic analysis , in particularstochastic partial differential equations . He is Professor of Mathematics atEPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) and atImperial College London . He previously held appointments at theUniversity of Warwick and theCourant Institute ofNew York University .[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 8] Fields Medal ,[ 9] [ 10] Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics .[ 11]
Early life and education [ edit ] Hairer was born inGeneva , Switzerland.[ 2] Geneva where he received his high school diploma in 1994. He entered a school science competition with sound editing software that was developed into Amadeus,[ 12] [update] [ 11] University of Geneva , where he obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics in July 1998, Master of Science in Physics in October 1998 and PhD in Physics under the supervision ofJean-Pierre Eckmann in November 2001.[ 3] [ 13]
Research and career [ edit ] Hairer is active in the field ofstochastic partial differential equations in particular, and in stochastic analysis and stochastic dynamics in general.[ 14] Hörmander's theorem , systematisation of the construction ofLyapunov functions for stochastic systems, development of a general theory ofergodicity for non-Markovian systems ,multiscale analysis techniques ,theory of homogenisation ,theory of path sampling and theory ofrough paths [ 14] regularity structures .[ 15]
Under the name HairerSoft, he developsMacintosh software.[ 12]
