Richard V. Kadison (b. July 25, 1925[1][2]) is an American mathematician known for his contributions to the study of operator algebras. He is a Gustave C. Kuemmerle Professor in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Pennsylvania.[3]
Kadison is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (elected in 1996),[4][5] and a foreign member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters[2] and of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.[6] He is a 1969 Guggenheim Fellow.[7]
Richard Kadison was awarded the 1999 Leroy P. Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement by the American Mathematical Society.[3][8] In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[9]
Dick Kadison was a skilled gymnast with a specialty in rings.[citation needed] He married Karen M. Holm on June 5, 1956, and they have one son, Lars.
