Peter Duren

In 1976/77 he was chief editor of the Michigan Mathematical Journal. He was a co-editor of the American Mathematical Monthly and a festschrift for Frederick Gehring.

Duren was in 1968/69 at the Institute for Advanced Study, in 1975 a visiting professor at the Technion in Haifa, in 1964/65 a visiting scientist at Imperial College and the University of Paris-Sud in Orsay, in 1982 a visiting professor at the University of Maryland and in 1982/83 at the Mittag-Leffler Institute, the University of Paris-Sud and at the ETH Zürich. In 1989 he was a visiting scientist at Stanford University, in 1993 at the University of Hawaii and in 1996 at the Norwegian Institute of Technology in Trondheim. He has also been a visiting scientist in Halle, at the Max-Planck Institute in Leipzig, at the University of Witwatersrand, in Santiago de Chile, at the Autonomous University of Madrid, at Bar-Ilan University and the Academia Sinica in Beijing.

From 1964 to 1966, Duren was a Sloan Fellow. In 2012, he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.

Duren received in 1956 his bachelor's degree from Harvard University and in 1960 his PhD from MIT under Gian-Carlo Rota with thesis Spectral theory of a class of non-selfadjoint infinite matrix operators. As a postdoc he was an instructor at Stanford University. At the University of Michigan, he became in 1962 an assistant professor, in 1966 an associate professor, in 1969 a professor, and in 2010 a professor emeritus.
