Prof. Michael T. Lacey

Short Biography


Michael T. Lacey Lacey is Full Professor in the School of Mathematics at Georgia Institute of Technology. Currently he serves as the Harmonic Analysis editor for the Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society. From 2001 to 2006 he served as VIGRE Director. He received his Ph.D. under the supervision of Walter Phillipp, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has held positions at Louisiana State University, the University of North Carolina, Indiana University, and since 1996 at Georgia Institute of Technology.

Prof. Lacey’s current research interests include: probability, harmonic analysis, ergodic theory, and dynamical systems. His best-known work is in the area of Harmonic Analysis. He and Christoph Thiele verified the Calderon Conjecture on the bilinear Hilbert transform, and devised a new proof of the pointwise convergence of Fourier series. He also contributed to the solution of other conjectures in the subject, such as the Kato Square Root Conjecture, and the Nehari problem on the polydisk.

Prof. Michael Lacey has been an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow, has spoken at the 1998 ICM, Berlin Germany, was selected for the Salem Prize in 1997, and held a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2004.
