Paul Ian Biran ( Hebrew: פאול בירן; born 25 February 1969) is an Israeli mathematician. He holds a chair at ETH Zurich. His research interests include symplectic geometry and algebraic geometry. [1]
Education
Born in Romania in 1969, Biran's family moved to Israel in 1971. He attended Tel Aviv University, where he earned his Bachelor's degree in 1994 and Ph.D. in 1997 [1] under supervision of Leonid Polterovich (thesis: Geometry of Symplectic Packing).
Career
From 1997 to 1999, Biran was a "Szego Assistant Professor" at Stanford University. At Tel Aviv University, he was a lecturer from 1997 to 2001, a senior lecturer from 2001 to 2005, an associate professor in 2005, and a full professor in 2008. In 2009, Biran became a full professor of mathematics at ETH Zurich. [1]
Awards
Biran was awarded the Oberwolfach Prize in 2003, the EMS Prize in 2004, and the Erdős Prize in 2006. In 2013 he became a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina. [2]
