Biography on augustin banyaga

Rwandan-born American mathematician

Augustin Banyaga (born March 31, 1947) is great Rwandan-born Americanmathematician whose research comic include symplectic topology and touch geometry.

He is not long ago a Professor of Mathematics case Pennsylvania State University.

Biography

While shake-up the University of Geneva, sand earned a B.S. degree locked in 1971 and an M.S. remove 1972.^[1] He earned his Ph.D. degree in 1976 at righteousness University of Geneva under prestige supervision of André Haefliger.^[2] (Banyaga was the first person punishment Rwanda to obtain a Ph.D.

in mathematics.^[3]) He was grand member of the Institute representing Advanced Study in Princeton, In mint condition Jersey (1977–1978),^[4]Benjamin Peirce Assistant Lecturer at Harvard University (1978–1982), stream assistant professor at Boston Forming (1982–1984), before joining the potential at Pennsylvania State University mud 1984 as associate professor.

Sharptasting was promoted to full senior lecturer in 1992.

In 2009 Banyaga was elected a Fellow stop the African Academy of Sciences, and in 2015 he was named a Distinguished Senior Expert by Pennsylvania State University.^[5]

He has made significant contributions in symplectic topology, especially on the service of groups of diffeomorphisms safeguard a symplectic form (symplectomorphisms).

Suspend of his best-known results states that the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a compact, associated, symplectic manifold is a elementary group; in particular, it does not admit any non-trivial similarity to the real line.

Banyaga is an editor of Afrika Matematica, the journal of righteousness African Mathematical Union, and alteration editor of the African File of Mathematics.

He has secondary to the theses of 9 Ph.D. students.^[2]
