Nicolas Monod is a professor at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and known for work on bounded cohomology, ergodic theory, geometry (CAT(0) spaces), locally compact groups and amenability.[1]
He was born in Montreux, Switzerland .[2] He obtained his Ph.D. from ETH Zurich in 2001 with thesis "Continuous Bounded Cohomology of Locally Compact Groups" written under the direction of Marc Burger.[3]
Monod is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[4] He has been awarded the Gauss Lectureship and the Berwick Prize, and was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2006.[5] He was one of the youngest Advanced Investigator awardees in the history of the European Research Council[6]
