Amin Shokrollahi belongs to the mathematical record as a figure whose results outlasted the problems that prompted them.
The record lists Amin Shokrollahi as Iranian mathematician.
Amin Shokrollahi was born at Tehran in 1964. His recorded nationality is Iran. He studied at University of Bonn.
Modern mathematics is collaborative and increasingly computational; proofs can now run to thousands of pages or depend on machine verification.
His academic posts were held at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne.
Mathematics is the one discipline whose results, once proved, are never overturned.
Recognition followed: IEEE Richard W. Hamming Medal (2012) and Mustafa Prize (2017).
That the work was done from Iran matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Amin Shokrollahi is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
