Short Biography
|
Dr Maurice de Gosson maurice.de.gosson@univie.ac.at I was born in 1948 in Berlin, Germany. My mother was from Finland and my father an Austrian citizen who left Austria a few days before the Anschluss. They met in France while studying French at the University; they married after the war. I stayed in Berlin until the age of 6 and then I moved to France. I got my PhD in 1978 at the University of Nice, which was at that time a stronghold of the Bourbaki group (I had teachers like J. Dieudonné and L. Boutet de Monvel during my undergraduate studies). I also got a "Habilitation ŕ Diriger des Recherches" in 1992 at the University of Paris 6 (more about that below) under the supervision of J. Leray.

I am married with Charlyne since 1970 (we met in Nice) and we have four children, Serge (a Swedish mathematician), Corinne (an English language teacher in France), Samantha (a photographer in Los Angeles), and Sven (a high-school student).

Some of my hobbies: epistemological and ontological questions in quantum mechanics. Dining out and enjoying good company.
