Martin Hairer

Sir Martin Hairer (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

edit

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.[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

edit

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.[12]
