Sergei Tabachnikov, also spelled Serge, (born in 1956) is an American mathematician who works in geometry and dynamical systems. He is currently a Professor of Mathematics at Pennsylvania State University.
Biography
He earned his Ph.D. from Moscow State University in 1987 under the supervision of Dmitry Fuchs and Anatoly Fomenko.{{cite web |url=http://genealogy.impa.br/id.php?id=87623 |title=The Mathematics Genealogy Project - Serge Tabachnikov |access-date=2015-03-13 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402132540/http://genealogy.impa.br/id.php?id=87623 |archive-date=2015-04-02 }} He has been living and working in the USA since 1990.
From 2013 to 2015 Tabachnikov served as Deputy Director of the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM) in Providence, Rhode Island.https://icerm.brown.edu/about/include/icerm%20newsletter_summer%202015.pdf ICERM Summer 2015 Newsletter He is now Emeritus Deputy Director of ICERM.[http://icerm.brown.edu/people/#tab_emeritus ICERM Emeritus Leadership]
He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.{{Cite web | url=http://www.ams.org/profession/fellows-list-institution | title=American Mathematical Society}} He has served as Editor-in-Chief of the journal Experimental Mathematics, and is currently serving as Editor-in-Chief of the Arnold Mathematical Journal and as co-Editor-in-Chief of the Mathematical Intelligencer.{{cite journal

A paper on the variability hypothesis by Theodore Hill and Tabachnikov was accepted and retracted by The Mathematical Intelligencer and later The New York Journal of Mathematics (NYJM). There was some controversy over the mathematical model, the peer-review process, and the lack of an official retraction notice from the NYJM.{{Cite web |url=https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/a-twice-retracted-paper-on-sex-differences-ignites-debate-64873 |title=A Twice-Retracted Paper on Sex Differences Ignites Debate |last=Azvolinsky |first=Anna |date=2018-09-27 |website=The Scientist |access-date=2018-11-03}}
