Ernst Hairer (born 19 June 1949 in Nauders)[1] is a professor of mathematics at the University of Geneva known for his work in numerical analysis.

His PhD was completed at the University of Innsbruck.[2]

He is the father of the mathematician Martin Hairer, who won the Fields medal in 2014.

Hairer is a member of the editorial boards for the journals Mathematics of Computation[3] and Journal of Scientific Computing.[4]

He wrote, with others, Solving Ordinary Differential Equations (Hairer, Nørsett, Wanner) and L'analyse au fil de l'histoire (Hairer, Wanner).

Awards and honors

Hairer holds a doctor honoris causa from the University of Lund.[5][6]

In 2003 he was awarded the Peter Henrici Prize by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.[7]

In 2009 a conference on scientific computing and differential equations was held in honor of his 60th birthday, at the University of Geneva,[1] and in the same year the 7th International Conference in Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics in Crete was dedicated in his honor.[8]

In 2009–2010 he was John-von-Neumann guest professor at the Technical University of Munich.
