Niky Kamran FRSC (born May 22, 1959) is a Belgian and Canadian mathematician whose research concerns geometric analysis, differential geometry, and mathematical physics.[1] He is a Distinguished James McGill Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McGill University.[2]
Kamran was born in Brussels, Belgium. He earned a licentiate in mathematics from the Université libre de Bruxelles in 1980.[2] He moved to Canada for graduate studies, earning a Ph.D. in 1984 from the University of Waterloo; his dissertation, titled Contributions to the Study of the Separation of Variables and Symmetry Operators for Relativistic Wave Equations on Curved Spacetime, was jointly supervised by Raymond G. McLenaghan and Robert Debever.[3]
