Mike Wolf

Mike Wolf is professor of mathematics and chair of the department of mathematics at Georgia Institute of Technology. Prior to that, he was at Rice University for 34 years, eventually becoming the Milton B. Porter Professor of Mathematics. His research is in geometric analysis, and his studies have led to his being named a Sloan Fellow, a Simons Fellow, and a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society; he has also served several terms as a research professor at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (now the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute).

Wolf received a doctorate in mathematics from Stanford University after completing math and philosophy studies at Yale University as an undergraduate. In 1986, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology named him a C. L. E. Moore instructor, a position for postdocs who show promise in pure mathematics research.
