Austrian-British mathematician
Sir Martin Hairer
KBE
FRS (born 14 November 1975
[2] ) is an Austrian-British mathematician working in the field of
stochastic analysis , in particular
stochastic partial differential equations . He is Professor of Mathematics at
EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) and at
Imperial College London . He previously held appointments at the
University of Warwick and the
Courant Institute of
New York University .
[5]
[6]
[7]
[8] In 2014 he was awarded the
Fields Medal ,
[9] one of the highest honours a mathematician can achieve.
[10] In 2020 he won the 2021
Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics .
[11]
Early life and education
Hairer was born in
Geneva , Switzerland.
[2] He attended the Collège Claparède
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]
and later continued to maintain the software in addition to his academic work; it continued to be widely used as of 2020
[update] .
[11] He then attended the
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 of
Jean-Pierre Eckmann in November 2001.
[3]
[13]
Research and career
Hairer is active in the field of
stochastic partial differential equations in particular, and in stochastic analysis and stochastic dynamics in general.
[14] He has worked on variants of
Hörmander's theorem , systematisation of the construction of
Lyapunov functions for stochastic systems, development of a general theory of
ergodicity for non-
Markovian systems ,
multiscale analysis techniques ,
theory of homogenisation ,
theory of path sampling and theory of
rough paths
[14] and, in 2014, on his theory of
regularity structures .
[15]
Under the name HairerSoft, he develops
Macintosh software.
