Raphaël Rouquier is currently professor at UCLA. He was previously Directeur de Recherche at CNRS in France and Waynflete professor at Oxford University. Professor Rouquier has initiated a new field in mathematics “higher representation theory”. He constructed novel categories of geometric and representation-theoretic interest and applied these to problems in the theory of finite groups, Lie theory, algebraic geometry and mathematical physics. He was invited speaker at the ICM in Madrid in 2006 and winner of several distinguished prizes.

Raphaël Rouquier教授现任职于加州大学洛杉矶分校 。此前曾分别担任过法国科学研究中心研究主任以及牛津大学的Waynflete冠名教授。Rouquier教授是高阶表示论的开创者。他构造了与几何和表示论密切相关的范畴化，并将它们应用于解决有限群理论、李理论、代数几何和数学物理等领域中的问题。他是2006年国际数学家大会的45分钟报告人，同时也是多个杰出奖项的获得者。
