Eckhard Meinrenken

Eckhard Meinrenken FRSC is a German-Canadian mathematician working in differential geometry and mathematical physics.Meinrenken studied Physics at Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, where he obtained a Diplom in 1990 and a PhD in 1994, with a thesis entitled Vielfachheitsformeln für die Quantisierung von Phasenräumen (Multiplicity formulas for the quantization of phase spaces), under the supervision of Hartmann Römer [de].[1] He was a postdoc at Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1995 to 1997, and then he joined University of Toronto Department of Mathematics in 1998 as assistant professor.[5] In 2002 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing[6][7] and in 2008 he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.Among his most important contributions, in 1998 he proved, together with Reyer Sjamaar the conjecture "quantisation commutes with reduction",[10][11] originally formulated in 1982 by Guillemin and Sternberg.
