Biography

Jeff Cheeger is a Silver Professor in the Department of Mathematics at New York University. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Princeton University in 1967. Cheeger has made significant contributions to the study of geometric analysis, particularly in the areas of geometric nonlinear partial differential equations and metric measure spaces. His recent research focuses on the quantitative study of singular sets and obtaining sharp estimates on the volume of sets at points away from solutions, which are characterized by a definite amount of regularity. He has collaborated extensively with notable mathematicians including Aaron Naber, Robert Haslhofer, Daniele Valtorta, Bruce Kleiner, and Assaf Naor, exploring the intricate structures of spaces known as PI spaces and developing techniques that advance the understanding of Lipschitz differentiability. Cheeger's work bridges theoretical foundations with practical implications, enriching the field of Mathematics and inspiring future research.
