Simon Donaldson is an English mathematician who received a Fields Medal for his work on 4 dimensional manifolds. He was knighted in 2012 and awarded the most prestigious mathematical prizes including the Shaw Prize, the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics, the Oswald Veblen Prize, and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics.
Simon Donaldson has transformed our understanding of four-dimensional shapes, showing which ones can be “tamed” with the kind of equations that mathematicians can solve, and which can’t. In the process, he both provided powerful new tools for physicists and incorporated new ideas from physics into mathematics.
Simon Donaldson conducts research in geometry and topology. As a research student he proved what is known as the diagonalizability theorem, going on to open up a whole new area in four-dimensional geometry. His work has helped physicists to better understand theories of space–time and how matter behaves at sub-nuclear levels.
