Paul Bernays Lectures 2014

Vladimir Voevodsky, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, USA

Vladimir Voevodsky is full professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. His main interests are in the intersection of algebraic geometry with algebraic topology, and he introduced together with Fabien Morel a homotopy theory for schemes. He has recently been involved in the homotopy type theory (HoTT) project which is being intensely discussed in mathematical logic and computer science. In 2002, he received the Fields Medal for his modern formulation of motivic cohomology and for its use in the proof of Milnor’s conjecture.
