Mariusz Wodzicki, Berkeley 1993

Mariusz Wodzicki (Count Wodzicki) (born 1956) is a Polish mathematician and nobleman, whose works primarily focus on analysis, algebraic k-theory, noncommutative geometry, and algebraic geometry.

Wodzicki was born in Bytom, Poland in 1956. He received a MSc from Moscow State University in 1980,^[1] and he completed his doctoral degree in 1984 at the Steklov Institute of Mathematics in Moscow under the advisement of Yuri Manin (Spectral Asymmetry and Zeta-Functions).^[2] In 1985–1986 he was a research assistant at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, after which he became an assistant professor at the Mathematical Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences.^[1] He is currently a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley.^[3]

In 1992, Wodzicki was an invited speaker of the European Congress of Mathematics in Paris (Algebraic K-theory and functional analysis). In 1994, he was an invited speaker of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zürich (The algebra of functional analysis).^[4]
