Christian BorgsChristian Borgs is the Deputy Managing Director of Microsoft Research New England in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He studied physics at the University of Munich, the University Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, the Institut des Hautes Etudes in Bures-sur-Yvettes, and the Max-Planck-Institute for Physics in Munich. He received his Ph.D. in mathematical physics from the University of Munich, held a postdoctoral fellowship at the ETH Zurich, and received his Habilitation in mathematical physics from the Free University in Berlin. After his Habilitation he held a Heisenberg Fellowship, and then became the C4 Chair for Statistical Mechanics at the University of Leipzig. In 1997 he joined Microsoft Research to co-found the Theory Group. He was a manager of the Theory Group until 2008, when he co-founded Microsoft Research New England. Borgs has authored well over 100 research papers and is named as an inventor on about 30 patents. He is well known for his work on the mathematical theory of first-order phase transitions and finite-size effects for which he won the 1993 Karl-Scheel Prize of the German Physical Society. Since joining Microsoft, Borgs has become one of the world leaders in the study of phase transitions in combinatorial optimization, and more generally, the use of methods from statistical physics and probability theory in problems of interest to computer science and technology. Borgs has given a prestigious Conference Board of Mathematical Sciences (CBMS) lecture series. He has been a long-term visitor at Princeton, Harvard and UCLA, and twice a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He has served on many boards and committees. Лекции |
