Complex and Harmonic Analysis III

Professor Uri Srebro was born in 1936 in Tel Aviv. He obtained bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, completing his DSc in 1968 under the guidance of Elisha Netanyahu. After postdoctoral studies at the University of Minnesota and shorter visits to University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and to the University of Helsinki, he returned to the Technion in 1969, where he remained on the faculty until his retirement. Following retirement from the Technion, he also served as Dean of Engineering at the Holon Institute of Technology. Professor Srebro passed away in May 2016 in Tel-Aviv. His areas of research and interest include quasiconformal and quasiregular mappins, Beltrami equations, branched folded mappings, covering theorems for meromorphic functions, immersions of manifolds and discrete Moebius groups. He helped to organize the Special Year in Complex Analysis at the Technion in 1975-76 and later on was active in organizing many other international conferences in his fields of interest. He has also been a long-term visitor at many of the leading centers of complex analysis, including in College Park Maryland, Helsinki, Jyvaeskylae, Ann Arbor, San Diego, Purdue, Uppsala, Auckland and Urbana-Champaign, where he is remembered by many collaborators.
