Russell Lyons

Russell David Lyons (6 September 1957) is an American mathematician, specializing in probability theory on graphs, combinatorics, statistical mechanics, ergodic theory and harmonic analysis.[1]

Lyons graduated with B.A. mathematics in 1979 from Case Western Reserve University,[2] where he became a Putnam Fellow in 1977 and 1978.[3] He received his Ph.D. in 1983 from the University of Michigan with the thesis A Characterization of Measures Whose Fourier-Stieltjes Transforms Vanish at Infinity, which was supervised by Hugh L. Montgomery and Allen Shields.[4] Lyons was a postdoc for the academic years 1983–1985 at the University of Paris-Sud. He was an assistant professor at Stanford University from 1985 to 1990 and an associate professor at Indiana University from 1990 to 1994. At Georgia Tech he was a full professor from 2000 to 2003. At Indiana University he was a professor of mathematics from 1994 to 2014 and is since 2014 the James H. Rudy Professor of Mathematics; there he has also been an adjunct professor of statistics since 2006.[2]

Lyons has held visiting positions in the United States, France, and Israel.[2] In 2012 he was elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[1] In 2014 he was an invited speaker of the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Seoul.[5] In 2017 a conference was held in Tel Aviv in honor of his 60th birthday.[6]
