Victor Vladimirovich Goryunov is a Russian mathematician born in 1956. He is a leading figure in singularity theory, whose contributions to the subject are fundamental. ^[1] He has published several books and a variety of papers in singularity theory, finite type invariants, and Legendrian knots. Many of his papers in Lagrangian and Legendrian geometry are now considered to be classical in the subject. ^[1]

Goryunov completed his Ph.D. thesis, titled "Surface projection singularities", at Moscow's Lomonosov State University in 1981, under the direction of Vladimir Arnold. He is currently a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Liverpool. ^[2] He was an editorial advisor of the journal Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society.
