Workshop in Celebration of Mark Green's 60th Birthday: Hodge Theory and Algebraic Geometry
February 22 - 23, 2008
UCLA Department of Mathematics

This workshop will focus on recent work by a number of distinguished researchers in Hodge theory and algebraic geometry. It is also an opportunity to recognize Mark Green’s contributions to Mathematics.

Dr. Green obtained his PhD from Princeton, where his thesis adviser was Phillip Griffiths. After teaching at Berkeley and MIT, he came to UCLA as an Assistant Professor in 1975. Dr. Green's research has taken him into several areas of mathematics--several complex variables, differential geometry, commutative algebra, Hodge theory and algebraic geometry. He received an Alfred P. Sloan fellowship and was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin. Along with Eitan Tadmor, he was one of IPAM's Founding Co-Directors. He has been Director of IPAM since 2002 and is responsible for its remarkable success.
