Gregory Francis Lawler (born July 14, 1955) is an American mathematician working in probability theory and best known for his work since 2000 on the Schramm–Loewner evolution.[1][2][3]
He received his PhD from Princeton University in 1979 under the supervision of Edward Nelson.[4] He was on the faculty of Duke University from 1979 to 2001, of Cornell University from 2001 to 2006, and since 2006 is at the University of Chicago.[5]
Awards and honors[edit]
He received the 2006 SIAM George Pólya Prize with Oded Schramm and Wendelin Werner.
In 2019 he received the Wolf Prize in Mathematics.[6][7]
Lawler is a member of the National Academy of Sciences (since 2013) and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (since 2005). Since 2012, he has been a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. [8] He gave an invited lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing (2002) and a plenary lecture at the ICM in Rio de Janeiro (2018).
