Robert Thomas Seeley

Robert Thomas Seeley ( born February 26, 1932 in Bryn Mawr ) is an American mathematician who deals with analysis.

Seeley studied at Haverford College (Bachelor 1953) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT ), where he earned his doctorate under Alberto Calderon, 1958 ( Singular integrals on compact manifolds ). After that he was on the 1958-1961 Harvey Mudd College as an instructor and later as an assistant professor and since 1963 assistant professor at Brandeis University, where in 1967 he received a full professorship. Since 1972, Seeley was a professor of mathematics at the University of Massachusetts in Boston.

It dealt among other things with pseudo-differential operators and the Atiyah-Singer index theorem.

In 1970 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Nice ( Fractional powers of boundary problems ). 1965 to 1967 he was a Sloan Fellow.

Seeley is married and has four children.
