Alain Chenciner
Alain Chenciner (born 23 October 1943, in Villeneuve-sur-Lot) is a French mathematician, specializing in dynamical systems with applications to celestial mechanics.
Chenciner studied from 1963 to 1965 at the
University of Nice
. He returned in 1978 as maître de conférences to the University of Paris VII, where in 1981 he became professor extraordinarius (professeur de première classe) and in 1991 professor ordinarius (professeur en classe exceptionelle). In 2012 he became professor emeritus.
At the beginning of his career Chenciner worked on differential topology and its applications to dynamical systems, following the pioneering efforts of Stephen Smale, and also worked on singularity theory. Later in his career he worked on mathematical problems of celestial mechanics (specifically, the three-body problem[2] and the n-body problem) and studied bifurcations at elliptical fixed points of dynamical systems.

Chenciner's doctoral students include Daniel Bennequin.[5]
