Boris Hasselblatt

Boris Hasselblatt is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Tufts University's School of Arts and Sciences. He has been affiliated with Tufts since 1989, holding roles including Department Chair and Associate Provost (2014-2016). His research focuses on

• geometrically motivated hyperbolic dynamics
• chaos theory
• ergodic theory
• topological dynamics
• centralizers of dynamical systems

and has produced over 5000 published pages, including the seminal textbook on dynamical systems. He has held visiting appointments at ETH Zurich, University of Tokyo, and IHES Paris.

Hasselblatt's research spans the

• regularity of Anosov splittings
• ergodic theory for hyperbolic systems
• exotic Anosov flows
• degree-growth of monomial maps
• pointwise vs. uniform hyperbolicity
• differentiability of Hartman-Grobman linearizations

His work connects dynamical systems with differential geometry, number theory, and coding theory.

He has received NSF grants for

• Award #2020: VISION FOR DYNAMICS (2019-2020)
• School on Geometry and Dynamics (2014-2015)
• Tufts Math Circle (2012-2013)

and held leadership roles across mathematical societies including

• Secretary of the American Mathematical Society (2021-present)
• Founding Editor of Journal of Modern Dynamics
• Founding Editor-in-Chief of Mathematics Research Reports
• AMS Council and Committees membership

Teaching activities include advanced courses in

• Differential Equations
• Graduate and PhD thesis advising
• Master's thesis instruction
• Honors thesis supervision

at Tufts University.
