Biography

Sam Raskin is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Mathematician, geometric representation theory and the Langlands program

How & why

Sam Raskin is an American mathematician and the James E. English Professor of Mathematics at Yale, working in geometric representation theory. He led a nine-person team that proved the geometric Langlands conjecture, a major result linking number theory, harmonic analysis and geometry, work recognized with a Breakthrough Prize. Public biographies document his mathematical career but do not describe a Jewish background, so none is asserted here.
