MIT Professor George Lusztig (2014 Shaw Prize) discusses his career in mathematics with University of Oxford Mathematician Dr Tom Crawford. Recorded at the 2023 Hong Kong Laureate Forum.
*CORRECTION: the image at 8:55 is Serge Lang, when George is in fact talking about Jean-Pierre Serre.
George begins with his early career in Romania, before a chance meeting with Isadore Singer - and the invitation to Oxford that followed - changed his life. Whilst there, George worked with Singer and Michael Atiyah, following the latter to Princeton as his graduate student.
