Joseph Lipman

Joseph Lipman ( born June 15, 1938 in Toronto ) is a Canadian- American mathematician who deals with algebraic geometry.

Lipman studied at the University of Toronto with a Bachelor 's degree in 1960 and at Harvard University, where he in 1961 made ​​his master's degree and was awarded his doctorate in 1965 with Oscar Zariski ( quasi -ordinary singularities of embedded surfaces ). In 1965 he became Assistant Professor at Queen 's University in Kingston in 1966 at Purdue University, where he became professor in 1971. From 1987 to 1992 he was head of the mathematics faculty.

He was a member of the MSRI and a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge and the University of Nice and a visiting professor at Columbia University and Harvard University. It deals with singularity theory.

In 1982 he received the Jeffery -Williams Prize. He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.

He is a U.S. citizen. Lipman has been married since 1962 and has two children.
