Academic background and career
editMilman born in Israel. He completed his B.Sc. in Mathematics and Computer Science at Tel-Aviv University in 1996, graduating summa cum laude. He earned his M.Sc. in Pure Mathematics from Tel-Aviv University in 2000, also summa cum laude, with a thesis on the uniform properties of stochastic games and approachability, supervised by Ehud Lehrer. He received his Ph.D. in Pure Mathematics from the Weizmann Institute of Science in 2007, under the supervision of Prof. Gideon Schechtman, with a thesis on the distribution of volume in convex bodies. he do his Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto and the Fields Institute from 2009 to 2010.[2]
Milman is a professor at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology’s Faculty of Mathematics, where he holds the Yitzhak Modai Academic Chair. His research focuses on analysis and geometry, including isoperimetric inequalities, curvature-dimension conditions, convex geometry, and concentration of measure phenomena.[2]
Research interests
editProfessor Milman's research interests include[3][4]
- Isoperimetric, Functional, and Concentration Inequalities on weighted Riemannian manifolds and metric-measure spaces.
- Curvature-Dimension Conditions such as the Bakry-Émery and Lott-Sturm-Villani conditions.
- Geometry of Isoperimetric Minimizers and isoperimetric multi-bubbles.
- Affine-Invariant Isoperimetric Problems and the Lp Brunn-Minkowski theory.
- Convex Geometry and Optimal-Transport theory.
- Localization and Spectral Geometry, diffusion semi-groups, and heat-kernels.
- Convexity of Solutions to PDEs, particularly elliptic and parabolic PDEs.
- Concentration-of-Measure Phenomena in high dimensions.
- Asymptotic Convex and Geometric Analysis, and the distribution of volume in convex bodies.
