Joseph Bernstein (sometimes spelled I. N. Bernshtein; Hebrew: יוס(י)ף נאומוביץ ברנשטיין‎; Russian: Иосиф Наумович Бернштейн; born 18 April 1945) is a Soviet-born Israeli mathematician working at Tel Aviv University. He works in algebraic geometry, representation theory, and number theory.

Biography

Bernstein received his Ph.D. in 1972 under Israel Gelfand at Moscow State University. In 1981, he emigrated to the United States due to growing anti-semitism in the Soviet Union.[1] Bernstein was a professor at Harvard during 1983-1993. He was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study in 1985-86 and again in 1997-98.[2] In 1993, he moved to Israel to take a professorship at Tel Aviv University (emeritus since 2014).

Awards and honors

Bernstein received a gold medal at the 1962 International Mathematical Olympiad.[3] He was elected to the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities in 2002 and was elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences in 2004. In 2004, Bernstein was awarded the Israel Prize for mathematics.[4][5] In 1998 he was an Invited Speaker of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin.[6] In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[7]
