Ben Andrews (mathematician)

Ben Andrews is an Australian mathematician at the Australian National University.[1] He is known for contributions to geometric analysis, with a majority of his work being in the field of extrinsic geometric flows. He received his Ph.D. from Australian National University in 1993, under the supervision of Gerhard Huisken.[2] As of 2020, he has had nine Ph.D. students.

Recognition

[edit]

In 2002, he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians. In 2003, he received the Australian Mathematical Society Medal, along with Andrew Hassell, for distinguished research in the mathematical sciences.[3] In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[4]
