Shahar Mozes

Shahar Mozes (שחר מוזס) is an Israeli mathematician.

Mozes received in 1991 his doctorate from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem with thesis Actions of Cartan subgroups under the supervision of Hillel Fürstenberg. At the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Mozes became in 1993 a senior lecturer, in 1996 associate professor, and in 2002 a full professor.

Moses does research on Lie groups and discrete subgroups of Lie groups, geometric group theory, ergodic theory, and aperiodic tilings. His collaborators include Elon Lindenstrauss, Jean Bourgain, Alex Eskin, and Gregory Margulis.

In 2000 Mozes received the Erdős Prize. In 1998 he was an invited speaker with talk Products of trees, lattices and simple groups at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin.
