Pierre van Moerbeke (born 1 October 1944 in Leuven, Belgium) is a retired Belgian mathematician. He studies non-linear differential equations and partial differential equations, with soliton behavior. The Volterra lattice, also called the Kac-van Moerbeke lattice, is named for him. [1]
Van Moerbeke studied mathematics at the Catholic University of Leuven, where he received his degree in 1966. He then obtained a PhD in mathematics at Rockefeller University, New York City (1972). Formerly a professor of mathematics at Brandeis University ( United States) and the Catholic University of Leuven, [2] he has retired to become a professor emeritus at Brandeis. [3]
In 1988, he was awarded the Francqui Prize on Exact Sciences. [2]
