About the Speaker
Dr. James Simons, SB ’58

MIT alumnus James (“Jim”) Simons is an eminent mathematician, investor, and philanthropist. Among other major contributions to geometry and topology, Simons discovered the Chern-Simons invariants, now extensively used in theoretical physics, string theory, and geometry. He was awarded the AMS Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry.

He is the founder of the world’s second largest hedge fund Renaissance Technologies, where he served as CEO for over 30 years before becoming board chair. Simons also founded the Simons Foundation, an organization dedicated to advancing research of mathematics and the basic sciences, and Math for America, a nonprofit organization helping to significantly improve math education in public schools.
