Yair Nathan Minsky (born in 1962) is an Israeli-American mathematician whose research concerns three-dimensional topology, differential geometry, group theory and holomorphic dynamics. He is a professor at Yale University.^[1] He is known for having proved Thurston's ending lamination conjecture and as a pioneer in the study of curve complex geometry.

Biography

Minsky obtained his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1989 under the supervision of William Paul Thurston, with the thesis Harmonic Maps and Hyperbolic Geometry.^[2]

His Ph.D. students include Jason Behrstock, Erica Klarreich, Hossein Namazi and Kasra Rafi.^[2]

Honors and awards

He received a Sloan Fellowship in 1995.^[3]^[4]

He was a speaker at the ICM (Madrid) 2006.

Selected invited talks

Coxeter lectures (Fields Institute) 2006
Mallat Lectures (Technion) 2008

Quotes

"When Thurston proposed it, the virtual Haken conjecture seemed like a small question, but it hung on stubbornly, shining a spotlight on how little we knew about the field."^[5]
