Jean-Pierre Bourguignon (born 21 July 1947) is a French mathematician, working in the field of differential geometry.
Biography
Born in Lyon, France, he studied at École Polytechnique in Palaiseau, graduating in 1969. For his graduate studies he went to Paris Diderot University, where he obtained his PhD in 1974 under the direction of Marcel Berger.{{MathGenealogy|id=55339}}
He was president of the Société Mathématique de France from 1990 to 1992. From 1995 to 1998, he was president of the European Mathematical Society. He was director of the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques near Paris from 1994 to 2013. Between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2019 he was the President of the European Research Council.
{{blockquote|Prof. Bourguignon received the Prix Paul Langevin in 1987 and the Prix du Rayonnement Français in Mathematical Sciences and Physics from the Académie des Sciences de Paris in 1997. He is a foreign member of the Royal Spanish Academy of Sciences. In 2005, he was elected honorary member of the London Mathematical Society and has been the secretary of the mathematics section of the Academia Europaea.{{cite journal|author=Bourguignon, Jean-Pierre|title=Abstract for When Fundamental Discoveries Meet Daily Life (France-HKUST innovation hub inaugural lecture)|publisher=Institute for Advanced Study|website=Digital University Archives, HKUST Library|date=24 March 2017|url=https://archives.ust.hk/dspace/handle/9999/46211}}}}
