Alexander Furman is a mathematician at the University of Illinois, Chicago. [1] [2] Furman received his bachelor's degree in mathematics and computer science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1986, [3] [4] later earning his master's degree and PhD in mathematics in 1989 and 1996, respectively, from the same university. [3] [4]
Furman started teaching mathematics in 1996 as an L. E. Dickson Instructor of Mathematics at the University of Chicago. [3] In 1997, he received a position as a postdoctoral fellow at Penn State University. [3] He has worked at the University of Illinois Chicago since 1997, serving as an assistant professor from 1999 until 2007 and beginning as a full-time professor in 2007. [3] Furman also runs the UIC Math Olympiad Project where he works with high school-age students, discussing and working out mathematical problems. [5]
Furman has been awarded multiple National Science Foundation [3] [6] and Binational Science Foundation grants. [3] [7] In 2014, Furman was made a Simons Foundation Fellow in Mathematics [8] [3] and was awarded the National Science Foundation CAREER award for his work in teaching through research. [9] [6] The same year, he was an invited speaker for the International Congress of Mathematics hosted in Seoul. [9] [10] For his work in dynamical systems, ergodic theory, and Lie groups, he was made an American Mathematical Society Fellow in 2016. [11] He has additionally received UIC's University Scholar Award, as well as the LAS Distinguished Professor Award. [9] [12] [13]
