Biography
Bourgain received his Ph.D. from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel in 1977.
His work is in various areas of mathematical analysis such as the geometry of Banach spaces, harmonic analysis, analytic number theory, combinatorics, ergodic theory, partial differential equations, spectral theory and recently also in group theory. He has been recognised by a number of awards, most notably the Fields Medal in 1994.
In 2000 Bourgain connected the Kakeya problem to arithmetic combinatorics.
In 2009 Bourgain was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
In 2010, he received the Shaw Prize in Mathematics.
In 2012, he and Terence Tao received the Crafoord Prize in Mathematics from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
In 2016, he received the 2017 Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics.
