Biography
the most important results of his research pertain to the existence of singular solutions of Monge-Ampère equations. They allow for the construction of spaces with prescribed Ricci curvature including Kähler-Einstein metrics, which play an important role in theoretical physics. The world's leading mathematicians, including Simon Donaldson (Imperial College London), who is a recipient of the Fields Medal, and Gang Tian (Princeton University), have used these results to demonstrate long-lasting conjectures in complex geometry. He was awarded the 2014 Stefan Bergman Prize by the American Mathematical Society.
