Biography
David Gabai received his B.S. in mathematics from MIT in 1976 and his Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton University in 1980.[2] Gabai completed his doctoral dissertation, titled "Foliations and genera of links", under the supervision of William Thurston.[3]
After positions at Harvard and University of Pennsylvania, Gabai spent most of the period of 1986–2001 at Caltech, and has been at Princeton since 2001. Gabai was the Chair of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University from 2012 to 2019.[4]
Honours and awards
In 2004, David Gabai was awarded the Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry,[5] given every three years by the American Mathematical Society.
He was an invited speaker in the International Congress of Mathematicians 2010, Hyderabad on the topic of topology.[6]
In 2011, he was elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences.[7] In 2012, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[8]
Gabai was elected as a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2014.[9]
