Robert Kendall Lazarsfeld (born April 15, 1953) is an American mathematician who specializes in algebraic geometry. He is currently a distinguished professor of mathematics at Stony Brook University. [1] He was previously the Raymond L. Wilder Collegiate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Michigan. [2] He is the son of two sociologists, Paul Lazarsfeld and Patricia Kendall.
Career
Lazersfeld received his B.A. from Harvard College in 1975 and earned his Ph.D. from Brown University in 1980 under supervision of William Fulton. [3]
From 1983 to 1998, Lazersfeld was an assistant professor, associate professor, and professor of mathematics at UCLA. He joined the faculty of the University of Michigan in 1997 and served as the Raymond L. Wilder Collegiate Professor there from 2007 to 2013. In 2013 he joined the faculty of Stony Brook University, where he was the chair of the Mathematics Department from 2016-2019. Since 2015, he is a distinguished professor at Stony Brook.
From 2002–2009, Lazarsfeld was an editor at the Journal of the American Mathematical Society (Managing Editor, 2007–2009). [4] In 2012–2013, he served as the Managing Editor of the Michigan Mathematical Journal. [5]
Awards and Honors
In 2006, Lazarsfeld was elected as a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. [6]
In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. [7]
In 2015 he was awarded the AMS Leroy P. Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition. [8]
