Emanuel Milman

Emanuel Milman (עמנואל מילמן, born 12 January 1977): is a professor at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology’s Faculty of Mathematics, where he holds the prestigious Yitzhak Modai Academic Chair. His primary areas of research are Analysis and Geometry.

Academic background and career
Milman born in Israel. He completed his B.Sc. in Mathematics and Computer Science at Tel-Aviv University in 1996, graduating summa cum laude. He earned his M.Sc. in Pure Mathematics from Tel-Aviv University in 2000, also summa cum laude, with a thesis on the uniform properties of stochastic games and approachability, supervised by Ehud Lehrer. He received his Ph.D. in Pure Mathematics from the Weizmann Institute of Science in 2007, under the supervision of Prof. Gideon Schechtman, with a thesis on the distribution of volume in convex bodies. he do his Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto and the Fields Institute from 2009 to 2010.

Milman is a professor at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology’s Faculty of Mathematics, where he holds the Yitzhak Modai Academic Chair. His research focuses on analysis and geometry, including isoperimetric inequalities, curvature-dimension conditions, convex geometry, and concentration of measure phenomena.
