Bildung

Maurice de Gosson studied mathematics at the University of Nice, France, where he earned his Ph.D. under the supervision of Professor J. Chazarain. He continued his academic journey at the Sorbonne University in Paris, obtaining his Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches in 1992 under the mentorship of Professor Jean Leray from the Collège de France. Maurice de Gosson has held various teaching and research positions around the world. He began his career as a high school teacher in France, Canada, and Finland. His first academic appointment was as Senior Lecturer at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1985. He later held positions in Canada, France, and ultimately Sweden, where he was appointed full professor at the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Karlskrona.

In 2006, Maurice de Gosson relocated to Vienna, where he has since resided, supported by FWF research grants and worked at the University of Vienna, at the Numerical Harmonic Analysis group headed by Professor Hans Feichtinger. In 2024 Maurice de Gosson was promoted Professorial research Fellow at the University of Vienna. He joined the acoustics Research Institute headed by Dr. Peter Balatzs in August 2024.

Over the years, Maurice de Gosson has held numerous visiting positions around the World:

  • Guest professor at the University of Yale (USA),
  • Ulam research professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder (USA),
  • Giovanni Prodi visiting professor (Universität Würzburg),
  • Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik in Bonn (several longer visits),
  • Albert Einstein Institut in Golm

Derzeitige Forschung

Maurice de Gosson’s main area of reserach can be descrioberd shortly by "symplectic harmonic analysis and its applications to quantum mechanics". He is an expert in the applications of symplectic topology (in particular the notion of symplectic capacity) to the study of quantum indetermicy. He is also very active in the theory of the Wigner transform and its applications to Weyl and born—Jordan quantization (he has written sevceral well-cited books and monographs on these topics). His reserach results have been disseminated through numerous articles and multiple talks.

Some of Maurice de Gosson’s hobbies: epistemological and ontological questions in quantum mechanics.
