Eskin received in 1963 his Ph.D. (Russian candidate's degree) from Moscow State University with thesis advisor Georgiy Shilov.[2] In 1974 Eskin immigrated with his family to Israel and became a professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In 1983 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians at Warsaw. In 1982 he with his family emigrated from Israel to the USA and he became a professor at UCLA.[1] He was elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2014.

He is married to Marina Eskin, also a mathematician.[3] Their son Alex is a professor of mathematics at the University of Chicago, their other son Eleazar is a professor of computer science and human genetics at UCLA, and their daughter Ascia is a researcher in the Department of Human Genetics, David Geffen UCLA School of Medicine.[4][5]
