Michael Lee Develin (born August 27, 1980) is an American mathematician known for his work in combinatorics and discrete geometry.

Early life

Mike Develin was born in Hobart, Tasmania. He moved to the United States with his Korean mother, living in New York City. He attended Stuyvesant High School, where he was captain of the math team,[1] and entered Harvard University at the age of 16. At 22, he received his PhD from UC-Berkeley, doing his dissertation on Topics in Discrete Geometry. He was awarded the 2003 American Institute of Mathematics five-year fellowship.[2]

Mathematics

Develin is a 2-time Putnam fellow.[3] He studied under advisor Bernd Sturmfels at UC-Berkeley, and has been noted for work on Stanley's reciprocity theorem and tight spans. His 2004 paper, "Tropical Convexity",[4] with Sturmfels, is regarded as one of the seminal papers of tropical geometry, garnering over 150 citations to date.[5]

Facebook

On January 23, 2014, Develin published a [https://www.facebook.com/notes/mike-develin/debunking-princeton/10151947421191849 satirical note] on behalf of Facebook's data science team, predicting the demise of Princeton University, in response to a [https://arxiv.org/pdf/1401.4208v1.pdf research paper] by Princeton PhD candidates predicting the demise of Facebook.[6]

Bridge

Develin started playing competitive bridge in 2005.

Personal life

Develin was naturalized as an American citizen in 2010. He currently resides in San Francisco, California.

Develin organized and maintains SimBase, a simulated baseball league with fictitious players, whose inaugural members also included Jeopardy! champion Joon Pahk.[8][9]

Develin occasionally sets up a "free advice" table near the San Francisco Ferry Building.[10]
