Rick Schoen
Richard Melvin Schoen (born October 23, 1950) is an American mathematician known for his work in differential geometry and geometric analysis. He is best known for the resolution of the Yamabe problem in 1984 and his works on harmonic maps. Early life and education Schoen was born in Celina, Ohio, on October 23, 1950. In 1968, he graduated from Fort Recovery High School. He received his B.S. from the University of Dayton in mathematics. He then received his PhD in 1977 from Stanford University with Leon Simon and Shing-Tung Yau as advisors. Career After faculty positions at the Courant Institute, NYU, University of California, Berkeley, and University of California, San Diego, he was Professor at Stanford University from 1987 to 2014, as Bass Professor of Humanities and Sciences since 1992. He is currently Distinguished Professor and Excellence in Teaching Chair at the University of California, Irvine. His surname is pronounced "Shane." Schoen received an NSF Graduate Research ...

Fort Recovery, Ohio
Fort Recovery is a village in Mercer County, Ohio, United States. The population was 1,501 at the 2020 census. The village is near the location of Fort Recovery, first established in 1793 under orders from General Anthony Wayne. The town is located near the headwaters of the Wabash River. History Two significant battles of the Northwest Indian War took place at Fort Recovery. At the time, Ohio was claimed and populated by Native American nations, and conflict broke out when the young United States established settlements north of the Ohio River. In 1791, Northwest Territory governor Arthur St. Clair led a campaign north from Fort Washington to pacify the Western Confederacy at Kekionga. Instead, the United States force was destroyed in the early morning of November 4. St. Clair's Defeat remains the greatest loss by the United States Army to a Native American force. As a direct result of the Native American victory, the Legion of the United States was founded and placed under ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
André Neves
André da Silva Graça Arroja Neves (born 1975, Lisbon) is a Portuguese mathematician and a professor at the University of Chicago. He joined the faculty of the University of Chicago in 2016. In 2012, jointly with Fernando Codá Marques, he solved the Willmore conjecture. Neves received his Ph.D. in 2005 from Stanford University under the direction of Richard Melvin Schoen. Contributions Jointly with Hugh Bray, he computed the Yamabe invariant of \R \mathbb^3. In 2012, jointly with Fernando Codá Marques, he solved the Willmore conjecture (Thomas Willmore, 1965). In the same year, jointly with Ian Agol and Fernando Codá Marques, he solved the Freedman–He–Wang conjecture (Freedman–He–Wang, 1994). In 2017, jointly with Kei Irie and Fernando Codá Marques, he solved Yau's conjecture (formulated by Shing-Tung Yau in 1982) in the generic case. Honors and awards He was awarded the Philip Leverhulme Prize in 2012, the LMS Whitehead Prize in 2013, invited speake ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
