Nessim Sibony

Sibony received in 1974 his PhD from the University of Paris-Sud with thesis Problèmes de prolongement analytique et d'approximation polynômiale pondérée. His research deals with complex analysis and complex dynamics in several variables, including collaboration with John Erik Fornæss and

Dinh Tien-Cuong on Fatou-Julia theory in several complex variables and on singular foliations by Riemann surfaces.

Independently of Adrien Douady and John H. Hubbard, Sibony proved in the 1980s that the Mandelbrot set is connected.Mandelbrot [https://books.google.com/books/about/Fractals_and_Chaos.html?id=As2xeIwS6OgC&pg=PA35 Fractals and Chaos: the Mandelbrot set and beyond], Springer 2004, p. 35

In 1985 he received the Vaillant Prize and in 2009 the Sophie Germain Prize from the French Academy of Sciences. For 2017 he received the Stefan Bergman Prize.[https://www.ams.org/news?news_id=4150 Stefan Bergman Prize 2017] In 1990 he was an Invited Speaker with talk Some recent results on weakly pseudoconvex domains at the ICM in Kyōto.{{cite journal|author=Sibony, Nessim|title=Some recent results on weakly pseudo convex domains|journal=Proceedings of the ICM, Tokyo. Mathematical Society|year=1991|pages=943–950|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/265452037}} He was a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France from 2009 to 2014.
