He rece-ived his MSc in 1981 and PhD degree in mathematics at the Jagiellonian Universityin Kraków in 1984. His PhD thesis written under the supervision of Professor Stani-sław Łojasiewicz was entitled „The regular points of the subanalytic sets”. Between1984 and 1986 he worked as an assistant in the Department of Real Functions atthe Institute of Mathematics of the Jagiellonian University. In 1986/87 he wasa postdoc at the Fourier Institute in Grenoble. Then he worked at the UniversityRennes I, the Jagiellonian University and the University of Savoie. In 1994 he wasappointed as a Professor at the University of Savoie and in 2007 he received theProfessor degree of the highest rank in France (classe exceptionelle). Between 2001and 2005 he was a Director of the Institute (Laboratory) of Mathematics of theUniversity of Savoie, which obtained at that time the status of CNRS unit (theNational Centre for Scientific Research).Professor Krzysztof Kurdyka is a valued and appreciated specialist in analy-tic and algebraic geometry, singularity theory and theory of o-minimal structures.He cooperates with many leading scientific centers worldwide and is an author ofmore than sixty scientific papers, considerably contributing to the developmentof real and complex analytic and algebraic geometry. Among his many importantcontributions to these branches of mathematics are a proof of the Rene´ Thom’s gra-dient conjecture, research on subanalytic stratifications and on the concept of arcanalytic functions arc-symmetic sets which he introduced to the real geometry. Aninequality discovered by Professor Kurdyka, thence called the Kurdyka-Łojasiewiczinequality, found a great resonance in numerous scientific studies, namely in opti-mization problems.Since 2008 Professor Krzysztof Kurdyka has been an active participant in Analy-tic and Algebraic Geometry Conferences organized by the Faculty of Mathematicsand Computer Science of the University of Łódź and in 2015 he was awarded21“9˙Kurdyka˙biografia” — 2017/12/1 — 20:36 — page 22 — #222 KRZYSZTOF KURDYKA SCIENTIFIC BIOGRAPHYa Universitatis Lodziensis Amico Medal. During the International Congress of Ma-thematicians 2018 in Rio de Janeiro he will give an invited talk, jointly with Pro-fessor Wojciech Kucharz from the Jagiellonian University. Actually, some resultson continuous rational functions, which they will present were obtained during theconferences in Łódź.Prepared by editors
