Raphaël Alexis Marcel Rouquier (born December 9, 1969) is a French mathematician and a professor of mathematics at UCLA.
Education
Rouquier was born in Étampes, France .[3]
Rouquier studied at the École Normale Supérieure from 1988 to 1989 and from 1989 to 1990 for a DEA in mathematics under the direction of Michel Broué, where he continued to study for his PhD. Rouquier spent the second year of his PhD study at the University of Cambridge under the supervision of J. G. Thompson.[1]
Career
He was hired by the CNRS in 1992 where he completed his PhD (1992) and Habilitation (1998–1999). He was appointed director of research there in 2003. From 2005 to 2006 he was Professor of Representation Theory at the Department of Pure Mathematics at the University of Leeds[3] before moving to the University of Oxford as the Waynflete Professor of Pure Mathematics.[4] In 2012, he moved to UCLA.[5] [6]
Awards and honors
He was awarded the Whitehead Prize in 2006[7] and the Adams Prize in 2009 for contributions to representation theory.[8][9] He was awarded the Elie Cartan Prize in 2009. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[10] In 2015 he became a Simons Investigator.[11]
