Education and career

Nadler graduated from Brown University with a B.S. in mathematics in 1996. [3] He completed his doctoral studies at Princeton University under the supervision of Robert MacPherson, earning a Ph.D. in mathematics in 2001. [3] [4] He worked as an instructor at the University of Chicago for several years before taking a tenure track position at Northwestern University in 2005, where he became a Full Professor in 2011. [3] [5] He moved to his current position at the University of California at Berkeley in 2012. [2]

Recognition

In 2007 Nadler was selected as a Sloan Research Fellow, [6] and in 2013 he became a member of the inaugural class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society. [7]

Nadler delivered the Arf Lecture in 2012. [8]

In algebra, a perfect complex of modules over a commutative ring A is an object in the derived category of A-modules that is quasi-isomorphic to a bounded complex of finite projective A-modules. A perfect module is a module that is perfect when it is viewed as a complex concentrated at degree zero. For example, if A is Noetherian, a module over A is perfect if and only if it is finitely generated and of finite projective dimension.
