Laurent Clozel

Laurent Clozel is a French mathematician, born (1953-10-23)October 23, 1953 in Gap. His mathematical work is in the area of automorphic forms, including major advances on the Langlands programme

Career and distinctions

Clozel was a student at the École normale supérieure and later obtained a Ph.D. under Michel Duflo^[1] He is currently a full professor at the Université Paris-Sud in Orsay.

He received the Prix Élie Cartan [de] of the French Academy for his work on base change for automorphic forms. He was an invited speaker at the 1986 International congress of mathematicians in Berkeley , talking about "Base change for GL(n)".

Together with Richard Taylor, Nicholas Shepherd-Barron et Michael Harris he proved the Sato–Tate conjecture.^[2]
