Paul Seidel (born December 30, 1970) is a Switzerland -Italian mathematician. He is a faculty member at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He used to be a member of the mathematics faculty at the University of Chicago.
Career
Seidel attended Heidelberg University, where he received his Diplom under supervision of Albrecht Dold in 1994. He then pursued his Ph.D. studies at the University of Oxford under supervision of Simon Donaldson (Thesis: Floer Homology and the Symplectic Isotopy Problem) in 1998.
Awards
In 2000, Seidel was awarded the EMS Prize.[1] In 2010, he was awarded the Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry "for his fundamental contributions to symplectic geometry and, in particular, for his development of advanced algebraic methods for computation of symplectic invariants."[2] In 2012, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society[3] and a Simons Investigator.[4]
Personal life
Seidel is married to Ju-Lee Kim, who is also a professor of mathematics at MIT.[5]
