Biographie de Lucian Badescu

Lucian Badescu is Professor at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Bucharest and Senior Researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy. In 1981, he received the prize "Simion Stoilow" of the Romanian Academy for research in algebraic geometry and for the monograph "Suprafete Algebrice" (Editura Academiei Romane : Bucharest, 1981). He was also an Annual Member of the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton) in the academic year 1981/82, and Visiting Professor of several universities and research institutes in the U.S. (e.g., University of California, Los Angeles, in the academic year 1999/2000) and Western Europe (e.g., Max-Planck Institut fuer Mathematik, Bonn, in the second semester of the academic year 1996/97). In addition, he is the author of approximately 40 research papers in algebraic geometry, one monograph ("Algebraic Surfaces"), and the book Lectures on Geometry (in Romanian, based on the course taught at the University of Bucharest).
