Granville Andrew, Full Professor

The Chair’s focus is on solving problems in analytic number theory and additive combinatorics. These areas of mathematics find applications in many fields such as public cryptography, digital information storage and global positioning systems.

Lalonde François, Full Professor

François Lalonde’s work has helped to define the mathematical structure of symplectic spaces, by determining their classification and reaching basic conclusions about the stability and rigidity of their components. His findings command as much interest among mathematicians as among mathematical physicists, who see them as one of the ways of understanding subatomic activity. As Chairholder, Professor Lalonde will continue to study mathematical tools for describing complex physical phenomena.

Polterovich Iosif, Full Professor

In his research, Iosif Polterovich examines mathematical models of real-life phenomena with the aim of developing a mathematical framework for several fields of physics.
