Daniel Wise is one of the world’s top geometric group theorists. His fundamental contributions stand at
the core of the most important development in geometry and topology since the proof of the Poincaré
Conjecture, namely the proof of Thurston’s virtually fibered conjecture for hyperbolic three-manifolds.
The profound impact and originality of Wise’s work have been recognized through several major awards, including
the Veblen Prize of the American Mathematical Society.

Daniel Wise est un des meilleurs théoriciens des groupes géométriques au monde. Ses contributions
fondamentales sont au centre du développement le plus important en géométrie et topologie depuis la
preuve de la conjecture de Poincaré, a savoir celle de la conjecture virtuellement fibrée de Thurston sur les
trois-variétés hyperboliques. L’impact profond des travaux de Wise a été reconnus par plusieurs prix majeurs, dont le
Prix Veblen de l’American Mathematical Society.
