Bernard Teissier Explained

Bernard Teissier (pronounced as /fr/; born 1945)^[1] is a French mathematician and a member of the Nicolas Bourbaki group. He has made major contributions to algebraic geometry and commutative algebra, specifically to singularity theory, multiplicity theory^{[2] [3]} and valuation theory.

Teissier attained his doctorate from Paris Diderot University in 1973, under supervision of Heisuke Hironaka. He was a member and a leading figure of Nicolas Bourbaki.^[4] Along with Alain Connes, he gave the 1975/1976 Peccot Lectures. He was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematics at Warsaw in 1983.^[5]

In 2012, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.^[6]
