Paul Blanchard
Paul Blanchard is professor of mathematics at Boston University. He grew up in Sutton, Massachusetts, USA, and spent three undergraduate years at Brown University. During his senior year, he decided to have an adventure and learn a new language, so he was an occasional student at the University of Warwick in England. He received his Ph.D. from Yale University. He has taught mathematics for more than thirty-five years, most at Boston University. His main area of mathematical research is complex analytic dynamical systems and the related point sets---Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set. He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
