(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Allen Edward Hatcher is an American topologist. Biography Hatcher was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. After obtaining his B.S from Oberlin College in 1966, he went for his graduate studies to Stanford University, where he received his Ph.D. in 1971. His thesis, A K2 Obstruction for Pseudo-Isotopies, was written under the supervision of Hans Samelson. Afterwards, Hatcher went to Princeton University, where he was an NSF postdoc for a year, then a lecturer for another year, and then Assistant Professor from 1973 to 1979. He was also a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in 1975–76 and 1979–80. Hatcher went on to become a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1977. From 1983 he has been a professor at Cornell University; he is now a professor emeritus.
