He studied at the University of Chicago and Princeton University, where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1979, under the direction of Allen Hatcher.[1][2]

From 1981 to 1983, he was a Sloan Fellow, and since 2012 he is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[3]

In 1990, he gave an invited lecture at the ICM in Kyoto (Topology Section).[4]

Personal life

[edit]

Igusa's father, Jun-Ichi Igusa, was also a mathematician. Igusa is married to Gordana Todorov,[5] with whom he is a frequent collaborator.[6]
