Sir Martin Hairer (born 14 November 1975[2]) is an Austrian-British mathematician working in the field of stochastic analysis, in particular stochastic partial differential equations. He is Professor of Mathematics at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) and at Imperial College London. He previously held appointments at the University of Warwick and the Courant Institute of New York University.[5][6][7][8] In 2014 he was awarded the Fields Medal,[9] one of the highest honours a mathematician can achieve.[10] In 2020 he won the 2021 Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics.[11]
