Martin Hairer FRS (born 14 November 1975 in Geneva, Switzerland) is an Austrian mathematician working in the field of stochastic analysis, in particular stochastic partial differential equations. He is Regius Professor of Mathematics at the University of Warwick,^[1][3] having previously held a position at the Courant Institute of New York University.^[3][4][5][6] He was awarded the Fields Medal in 2014.^[7]

Education

Hairer attended the College Claparede in Geneva, followed by the University of Geneva, where he obtained his PhD under the supervision of Jean-Pierre Eckmann in 2001.^[2]

Research

Hairer's nomination for the Royal Society reads:

“

Professor Martin Hairer is one of the world's foremost leaders in the field of stochastic partial differential equations in particular, and in stochastic analysis and stochastic dynamics in general. By bringing new ideas to the subject he made fundamental advances in many important directions such as the study of variants of Hörmander's theorem, systematisation of the construction of Lyapunov functions for stochastic systems, development of a general theory of ergodicity for non-Markovian systems, multiscale analysis techniques, theory of homogenisation, theory of path sampling and, most recently, theory of rough paths and the newly introduced theory of regularity structures.[8]

”

Under the name HairerSoft, he develops Macintosh software.^[9]
