Prof. Richard Hamilton graduated from Princeton in 1966. His thesis supervisor
was Robert Gunning. He is currently a Professor of Mathematics
at Columbia University. He has held positions in the University of
California at Irvine and San Diego and Cornell University. He is a
member of the National Academy of Sciences and American Academy of
Arts and Sciences. He won the Clay Research Award in 2003 and Oswald
Veblen Prize for Geometry in 1996. Hamilton is best known for having invented the Ricci flow, which Grigori Perelman employed in his proof of the Thurston's geometrization conjecture and the Poincaré conjecture. |
