主讲人简介：
Juergen Jost 院士于1956年出生于德国明斯特，1980年于波恩大学获得数学博士学位, 1984至1996年任德国波鸿鲁尔大学数学教授, 1996年参与创办德国马普数学研究所(莱比锡) 并任所长至今。Jost院士也是莱比锡大学名誉教授、美国圣塔菲复杂性科学研究所外部成员。他还是德国国家科学院、缅因茨科学与艺术学院、萨克森科学院院士和美国数学会会士。Jost院士还是国际顶尖期刊欧洲数学会会刊（JEMS）的创办人和首任主编。
Jost 院士是世界著名的数学家，迄今为止，已发表学术论文450多篇，完成著作20多部，被引用次数15000多次，指导的博士生已超过50人。在数学的多个领域内，如流形的几何与分析、极小子流形、调和映照理论及其几何应用、度量空间几何、凯莱几何、图论等方面，Jost 院士所作的重要贡献已经成为相关领域的经典工作。早在1986年，他获邀在国际数学家大会作45分钟报告，1993年他荣获德国科学的最高奖——莱布尼茨奖。
Jost 院士不仅是几何分析领域的国际权威专家，而且从学科交叉的观点，也在其它多个领域做出重要贡献，如理论物理、非线性动力系统、数学和理论生物学、神经科学、认知理论、网络分析、经济和社会系统、科学史与哲学以及复杂系统的一般理论等。2010年他获得主持欧洲研究理事会的高级项目，这是欧洲范围内最有声望的科学研究基金。
Brief Introduction of Professor Juergen Jost
Professor Juergen Jost was born in Muenster, Germany, in 1956. He obtained his PhD in Mathematics at Bonn University in 1980. From 1984-1996, he was Professor of Mathematics at the Ruhr University in Bochum. In 1996, he became a founding director of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences, Leipzig, Germany. He is also an Honorary Professor at the University of Leipzig and an External Member of the Santa Fe Institute for the Sciences of Complexity in the USA. He is a member of the Academy of Sciences Leopoldina (the National Academy of Germany), the Academy of Sciences and Literature, Mainz, and the Saxonian Academy of Sciences, Leipzig, a fellow of the American Mathematical Society, and he was the founding and chief editor of the Journal of the European Mathematical Society, one of the top mathematical journals in the world.
Professor Jost is a world-renowned mathematician, who has published more than 450 scientific articles, and more than 20 monographs and textbooks, and his works have been cited more than 15000 times. He has supervised more than 50 PhD students. Professor Jost has made many important contributions to several areas of mathematics, like the geometry and analysis on manifolds, minimal submanifolds, harmonic maps and their applications in geometry, geometry of metric spaces, Kaehler geometry, graph theory etc. which have become classical works in those fields. As early as 1986, he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berkeley. In 1993, he received the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize, the most distinguished research award in Germany.
Professor Jost is not only a leading expert in the field of geometric analysis, but also has made important contributions to many other fields, such as Theoretical Physics, Nonlinear Dynamics, Mathematical and Theoretical Biology, Neuroscience, the Theory of Cognition, Network Analysis, Economic and Social Systems, History of Science and Philosophy, and a general theory of Complex Systems from an interdisciplinary perspective. In 2010, he obtained an Advanced Grant of the European Research Council, the most prestigious research grant in Europe.
