Jean-Pierre Serre

Renowned French Mathematician and Fields Medalist

Throughout his career, Serre held a prestigious professorship at the College de France from 1956 until his retirement in 1994, after which he became an honorary professor. In addition to the Fields Medal, Serre's extraordinary achievements have been recognized with the Wolf Prize in Mathematics in 2000 and the inaugural Abel Prize in 2003.
