Alexei Mikhailovich Borodin (Russian: Алексе́й Михайлович Бороди́н; born June 25, 1975) is Professor of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[1]
Research
Before joining the Caltech faculty, he was a Clay Research Fellow and a researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.[2]
His research concerns asymptotic representation theory, relations with random matrices and integrable systems, and the difference equation formulation of monodromy.[3] In 2010, he was one of four Caltech faculty invited to present their work at the International Congress of Mathematicians.[4]
Education
Borodin was born in Donetsk, the son of Donetsk State University mathematics professor Mikhail Borodin.[5] He competed for Ukraine in the 1992 International Mathematical Olympiad, earning a silver medal there.[6] In the same year, he began studying mathematics at Moscow State University, and (because of the collapse of the Soviet Union) was forced to choose between Ukrainian and Russian citizenship, deciding at that time to be Russian.[5] He graduated from Moscow State in 1997 and received M.S.E. in computers and information science and Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Pennsylvania.[2][7]
Awards
In 2008, Borodin won the European Mathematical Society Prize, one of ten prizes awarded every four years for excellence by a young mathematics researcher.[3] In 2015 he won the Loève Prize.
