Dr. Michael Th. Rassias (University of Zurich and Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton) to speak at ECE NTUA on Friday, June 9, 2017, at 12:30 in amphitheater 1 (New ECE building)
On the occasion of the two years since the tragic passing of the Nobel Laureate John Nash (May 23, 2015), Dr. Michael Th. Rassias (University of Zurich and Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton) shall deliver a lecture at ECE NTUA.
Dr. Rassias will refer to the collaboration he had with John Nash at Princeton during the period 2014-2015 for the preparation of the book “Open Problems in Mathematics” (Springer, 2016).
Additionally, he will talk about the Riemann Hypothesis and for an approach to this problem via techniques of classical Mathematical Analysis.
Short CV
Michael Th. Rassias is a researcher in Mathematics with teaching duties at the University of Zürich and a visiting researcher at the Program in Interdisciplinary Studies of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, since September 2015. He holds a Diploma from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens (2010), a Master of Advanced Study in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge (2011), and a PhD in Mathematics from ETH-Zürich (2014). His doctoral thesis was on the “Analytic investigation of cotangent sums related to the Riemann zeta function”. During the academic year 2014-2015, he was a Postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Mathematics of Princeton University and the Department of Mathematics of ETH-Zürich, conducting research at Princeton. While at Princeton, he collaborated with Professor John F. Nash for the preparation of the volume entitled “Open Problems in Mathematics”, Springer, 2016. He has been awarded with two Gold medals in National Mathematical Olympiads in Greece, a Silver medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad of 2003 in Tokyo, as well as with the Notara Prize of the Academy of Athens, 2014. He has authored two problem-solving books in Number Theory and Euclidean Geometry, respectively, as well as a monograph on Goldbach’s Ternary Conjecture and has edited four books, by Springer. He has published several research papers in Mathematical Analysis and Analytic Number Theory.
