Dr. Peter Fillmore

Peter Fillmore, Killam Research Professor of Mathematics at Dalhousie, has made many important contributions to analysis and to operator theory in particular. His work on extensions of C*-algebras at once generalizes fundamental classical work on perturbation of operators due to Herman Weyl and John von Neumann - and at the same time introduces remarkable and unexpected connections of analysis with algebraic K-theory. His work continues to have a significant impact on the direction and the development of operator theory.
