Bernard Maskit
Bernard Maskit is an American mathematician known for his expertise in Kleinian groups. The Maskit slice through the moduli space of Kleinian groups is named after him; he is the author of the book Kleinian Groups (Grundlehren der Mathematischen Wissenschaften 287, Springer-Verlag, 1988)[1][2] and gave an invited talk about Kleinian groups at the 1974 International Congress of Mathematicians.[3]
Maskit earned his Ph.D. in 1964 from New York University under the supervision of Lipman Bers.[4] After postdoctoral studies at the Institute for Advanced Study he held an assistant professorship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1965 to 1972.[5] He then moved to the mathematics department at Stony Brook University, where he retired in 2008[6] and is now a professor emeritus.[7] In 2012, he became one of the inaugural fellows of the American Mathematical Society.[8]
