Boris Mordukhovich is an American mathematician noted for his research in the areas of nonlinear analysis, optimization, and control theory. Mordukhovich is one of the founders of modern variational analysis and generalized differentiation. Currently he is Distinguished University Professor and Lifetime Scholar of the Academy of Scholars at Wayne State University (Vice President, 2009-2010 and President, 2010-2011).
Mordukhovich was born and educated in the Soviet Union; he immigrated to the United States with his family in December 1988. Among his best known achievements is the introduction of the most powerful constructions of generalized differentiation (bearing now his name), their development and applications to broad classes of problems in variational analysis, optimization, equilibrium, control, economics, engineering, and other fields.[1][2] His theory and various applications have been recently summarized in the 2-volume monograph[3] and more than 300 journal publications.
Mordukhovich is a SIAM Fellow[4] and a recipient of many international awards and honors, including Dr. honoris causa from the National Sun Yat-sen University in Taiwan, Vasile Goldiş University in Romania, University of Messina[5][6] and University of Alicante in Spain.[7][8][9] He was the Founding Editor and remains the Editor-in-Chief of Set-Valued and Variational Analysis, an international journal. In 2011, he was elected to the Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti (Italy) and also to chair the International Working Group on Generalized Convexity [10].
