Dennis Gaitsgory, mathematician
Israel Gelfand Chair in mathematics
Dennis Gaitsgory is a professor of mathematics at Harvard University, known for his research on the geometric Langlands program.
Dennis Gaitsgory studied at Tel Aviv University under Joseph Bernstein (1990-1996) and received his doctorate in 1997. Prior to his 2005 appointment at Harvard, he was an associate professor at the University of Chicago from 2001–2005.
His work in geometric Langlands culminated in a joint 2002 paper with Edward Frenkel and Kari Vilonen, which established the conjecture for finite fields. In 2004, Dennis Gaitsgory published a separate paper, generalizing the proof to include the field of complex numbers as well.
