David Eisenbud (born 8 April 1947 in

Mathematical Sciences Research Institute
(MSRI), now known as Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath). He served as Director of MSRI from 1997 to 2007, and then again from 2013 to 2022.

Biography

Eisenbud is the son of mathematical physicist

Centre national de la recherche scientifique
(CNRS). He joined the staff at MSRI in 1997, and took a position at Berkeley at the same time.

From 2003 to 2005 Eisenbud was President of the American Mathematical Society.[2]

Eisenbud's mathematical interests include

syzygy modules, and the Buchsbaum–Eisenbud criterion for exactness of a complex. He also proposed the Eisenbud–Evans conjecture, which was later settled by the Indian mathematician Neithalath Mohan Kumar.[3]

He has had 31 doctoral students, including

Mircea Mustaţă, Irena Peeva, and Gregory G. Smith (winner of the Aisenstadt Prize
in 2007).

Eisenbud's hobbies are

mathematics of juggling) and music. He has appeared in Brady Haran's online video channel "Numberphile".[4]

Eisenbud was elected Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2006.[5] He was awarded the Leroy P. Steele Prize in 2010. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[6]
