He was awarded the Fields Medal in 1998 for his work in complex dynamics, hyperbolic geometry and Teichmüller theory. BiographyMcMullen graduated as valedictorian in 1980 from Williams College and obtained his Ph.D. in 1985 from Harvard University, supervised by Dennis Sullivan. He held post-doctoral positions at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, and the Institute for Advanced Study, after which he was on the faculty at Princeton University (1987–1990) and the University of California, Berkeley (1990–1997), before joining Harvard in 1997. Honors and awardsMcMullen received the Salem Prize in 1991 and won the Fields Medal in 1998.[1] He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2007 and in 2012 became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[2] TriviaMcMullen has given a proof that backgammon ends with probability one.[3] Works
