Fabien Morel

Fabien Morel (born 22 January 1965, in Reims) is a French algebraic geometer and key developer of A¹ homotopy theory with Vladimir Voevodsky. Among his accomplishments is the proof of the Friedlander conjecture, and the proof of the complex case of the Milnor conjecture stated in Milnor's 1983 paper 'On the homology of Lie groups made discrete'. This result was presented at the Second Abel Conference, held in January–February 2012.
In 2006 he was an invited speaker with talk "A1-algebraic topology" at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid.
