Percy Alec Deift (born September 10, 1945)[1] is a mathematician known for his work on spectral theory, integrable systems, random matrix theory and Riemann–Hilbert problems.
Life
Deift was born in Durban, South Africa, where he obtained degrees in chemical engineering, physics, and mathematics, and received a Ph.D. in mathematical physics from Princeton University in 1977.[2] He is a Silver Professor at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University.
Honors and awards
Deift is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society (elected 2012),[3] a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (elected 2003),[4] and of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (elected 2009).[5][6]
He is a co-winner of the 1998 Pólya Prize,[1][7] and was named a Guggenheim Fellow in 1999.[1][8] He gave an invited address at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin in 1998[1][9][10] and plenary addresses in 2006 at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid and at the International Congress on Mathematical Physics in Rio de Janeiro.[11] Deift gave the Gibbs Lecture at the Joint Meeting of the American Mathematical Society in 2009.[12] Along with Michael Aizenman and Giovanni Gallavotti, he won the Henri Poincare Prize in 2018.
