Colin J. Bushnell

Colin John Bushnell ( born 1947 ) is a British mathematician who deals with number theory and representation theory.

Bushnell studied from 1965 Mathematics at King's College London ( KCL), where he received his doctorate in 1972 Albrecht Fröhlich, from 1974 to 1990 was a member of the faculty received a full professorship. 1996/97 he stood in front of the Faculty of Mathematics and 1997 to 2004 he worked School of Physical Sciences and Engineering. After that, he was Assistant Principal of KCL.

1988/89 he was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study and in 1993 at the IHES. In 1994 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich (Smooth representations of p- adic groups: the role of compact open subgroups ).

It deals with the representation theory of reductive p- adic groups and the local Langlands correspondence.

In 1995 he was awarded the Senior Whitehead Prize. He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.

His doctoral Graham Everest counts.
