Alexander I. Barvinok (born March 27, 1963) is a professor of mathematics at the University of Michigan. [1]

Barvinok received his Ph.D. from St. Petersburg State University in 1988 under the supervision of Anatoly Moiseevich Vershik. [2]

In 1999 Barvinok received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from President Bill Clinton. [3]

Barvinok gave an invited talk at the 2006 International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid. [4]

In 2012, Barvinok became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society. [5]

In 2023, Barvinok left the American Mathematical Society by refusing to renew his membership in protest of its non-opposition to "DEI statements" and "compelled language", referencing his experiences in the Soviet Union. [6]
