Early life and education
editAbbes was born on 24 May 1970 in Sfax, Tunisia.[1] Abbes received a bronze medal in 1988 and a silver medal in 1989 at the International Mathematical Olympiad while representing Tunisia.[2] Abbes has both French and Tunisian citizenship.[1]
Abbes studied at the École Normale Supérieure from 1990 to 1994 and then received his doctorate from Paris-Sud University in 1995 under the supervision of Lucien Szpiro, with the thesis Théorie d'Arakelov et courbes modulaires on Arakelov theory and modular curves.[3][4] At Paris-Sud, Michel Raynaud was one of his mentors.[3] Abbes received his habilitation in 2003.[1]
Career
editAbbes was a post-doctoral researcher at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHÉS) from 1995 to 1996 and was also a post-doctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in 1996.[1] From 1996 to 2007, he was a Chargé de recherche at the CNRS at Paris-Sud University.[1] From 2007 to 2011, he was a CNRS Director of Research (2nd class) at the University of Rennes 1. In 2011, he moved to the IHÉS where he was a CNRS Director of Research (2nd class) until 2013 and where he has been a CNRS Director of Research (1st class) since 2013.[1][5]
Abbes was an editor for Astérisque from 2010 to 2018 and is the co-editor-in-chief of the Tunisian Journal of Mathematics.[1]
Abbes is a Coordinator of the Tunisian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (TACBI).[6][7] He is also a Secretary of the French Association of Academics for Respect for International Law in Palestine (AURDIP).[6][7]
Research
editAbbes's research concerns the geometric and cohomological properties of sheaves on manifolds over perfect fields of positive characteristic and p-adic fields.[5] He has worked on a p-adic Simpson correspondence and other topics in p-adic Hodge theory with Michel Gros.[5]
Awards
editIn 2005, Abbes was awarded the CNRS Bronze Medal.[3] He is a corresponding member of the Tunisian Academy of Sciences, Letters, and Arts.[5]
