Canadian mathematician
Jacques Claude Hurtubise FRSC (born March 12, 1957) is a Canadian mathematician who works as a professor of mathematics and chair of the mathematics department at McGill University . His research interests include moduli spaces , integrable systems , and Riemann surfaces .[ 1] Among other contributions, he is known for proving the Atiyah–Jones conjecture (in collaboration with Boyer, Mann, and Milgram).[ 2] [ 3]
After undergraduate studies at the Université de Montréal , Hurtubise became a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford for 1978–1981,[ 1] and earned a DPhil from Oxford in 1982, supervised by Nigel Hitchin , with a dissertation concerning links between algebraic geometry and differential geometry .[ 4] Following his DPhil, he taught at the Université du Québec à Montréal until 1988, when he moved to McGill. He has also been director of the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques .[ 5]
Hurtubise won the Coxeter–James Prize of the Canadian Mathematical Society in 1993, and was an AMS Centennial Fellow for 1993–1994. In 2004 he became a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada ,[ 2] and in 2012, he became one of the inaugural fellows of the American Mathematical Society .[ 6]
In 2018 the Canadian Mathematical Society listed him in their inaugural class of fellows.[ 7]
In 2022 he has been the recipient of the 2022 David Borwein Distinguished Career Award by the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS), "for his exceptional, continued, and broad contributions to mathematics".[ 8]
