Matti Vuorinen

Matti Vuorinen (born 6 November 1948 in Turku) is a Finnish mathematician working in the area of classical analysis. His main topics of interest include geometric function theory, quasiregular and quasiconformal mappings, computational potential theory, and generalized hyperbolic geometry.

He has worked as a professor of mathematics at the University of Turku and University of Helsinki, Finland and supervised 13 PhD theses and more than a hundred MSc theses. Together with Olli Martio he organized the Helsinki Analysis Seminar three decades, in 1986–2016. With the grants of Academy of Finland and other grants he has hosted more than a hundred research/postdoc visits to Universities of Turku and Helsinki.

His network of coauthors includes 80 mathematicians from all corners of world: European countries, USA, Russia, China, India, Japan, New Zealand. His collaboration with this network includes more than 200 publications, including 3 books on quasiregular and quasiconformal mappings.

He has worked altogether more than five years at leading research institutions of his research area: The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Technical University of Berlin, the Mittag-Leffler Institute, Sweden, Institute of Mathematics, Novosibirsk.

gollark: Possibly. But in general, by sneaking a thing into the category via technicalities or quoting the definition and saying "see, it obviously fits" or something like that, you can make people treat it like a central member of the category.
gollark: This is something called the "noncentral fallacy", where because a thing is an *edge-case example* of a category, you taint it with all the connotations of everything else in the category.
gollark: A lot of political arguments are also something like "abortion is murder" / "abortion is important for choice", where you just associate it with badness/goodness tangentially to taint it with that badness/goodness.
