Spencer Janney Bloch (born May 22, 1944; New York City [1] ) is an American mathematician known for his contributions to algebraic geometry and algebraic K-theory. Bloch is a R. M. Hutchins Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Chicago. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences [2] and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences [3] [4] and of the American Mathematical Society. [5] At the International Congress of Mathematicians he gave an invited lecture in 1978 [6] and a plenary lecture in 1990. [4] [7] He was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study in 1981–82. [8] He received a Humboldt Prize in 1996. [9] He also received a 2021 Leroy P. Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement.
