Spencer Bloch

Spencer Janney Bloch (b. May 22, 1944; New York City[1]) is an American mathematician known for his contributions to algebraic geometry and algebraic K-theory. Bloch is a R. M. Hutchins Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Chicago. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences[2] and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences[3][4] and of the American Mathematical Society.[5] At the International Congress of Mathematicians he gave an invited lecture in 1978[6] and a plenary lecture in 1990.[4][7] He was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study in 1981-82.[8] He received a Humboldt Prize in 1996.[9]

Not to be confused with André Bloch (mathematician).
