Eric Friedlander

Eric Mark Friedlander ( born January 7, 1944 in Santurce, Puerto Rico) is an American mathematician who deals with algebraic topology, algebraic geometry, algebraic K-theory and representation theory.

Friedlander studied at Swarthmore College with a bachelor 's degree in 1965 and in 1970 with Michael Artin at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology PhD ( fibrations in etale Homotopy Theory). As a post - graduate student, he was instructor at Princeton University, 1971 Lecturer and Assistant Professor in 1972. In 1973/74 he was in the U.S. exchange program with France, among others at IHES ( where he then was even more frequently ). In 1975 he became Associate Professor in 1980 and Professor at Northwestern University, where he was from 1987 to 1990 and from 1999 to 2003 Executive Board of the mathematics faculty. In 1999, he was Henry S. Noyes Professor of Mathematics. From 2008 he is Dean's Professor at the University of Southern California.

1981 and 1985/86 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study. He received for 1996 to 1998 Humboldt Research Award, with which he was at the University of Heidelberg. He was also a visiting scientist and visiting professor at the ETH Zurich, at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, at the MSRI, Oxford, Cambridge, Paris, at Brown University, Hebrew University and at the Institute Henri Poincaré. Since 2000, he serves on the Board of Trustees of the American Mathematical Society.

Friedlander is associate editor of the Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra. In 1998 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin ( Geometry of infinitesimal Group Schemes ).
