Monod at Oberwolfach in 2014

Nicolas Monod is a professor at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and known for work on bounded cohomology, ergodic theory, geometry (CAT(0) spaces), locally compact groups and amenability.[1]

He was born in Montreux, Switzerland.[2] He obtained his PhD from ETH Zurich in 2001 with thesis "Continuous Bounded Cohomology of Locally Compact Groups" written under the direction of Marc Burger.[3][4]

Career

Monod is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[5] He has been awarded the Gauss Lectureship[6] and the Berwick Prize,[7] and was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2006.[8] He was one of the youngest Advanced Investigator awardees in the history of the European Research Council.[9]

Monod was the president of the Swiss Mathematical Society from 2014 to 2015[10] and was the director of the Bernoulli Center at EPFL from 2014 to 2021.[1]
