He works in algebraic geometry, representation theory, and number theory.

Biography

Bernstein received his Ph.D. in 1972 under Israel Gelfand at Moscow State University. In 1981, he emigrated to the United States due to growing antisemitism in the Soviet Union.[1] Bernstein was a professor at Harvard during 1983-1993. He was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study in 1985-86 and again in 1997-98.[2] In 1993, he moved to Israel to take a professorship at Tel Aviv University (emeritus since 2014).

Awards and honors

Bernstein received a gold medal at the 1962 International Mathematical Olympiad.[3] He was elected to the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities in 2002 and was elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences in 2004. In 2004, Bernstein was awarded the Israel Prize for mathematics.[4][5] In 1998, he was an Invited Speaker of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin.[6] In 2012, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[7]
