-Professor of mathematics.
+Professor of mathematics; [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Tsirelson details].
-Obtained my M.S. from the university of Leningrad; stayed in Leningrad to pursue my graduate studies, finishing my PhD in 1975.
+Also a Wikipedian; [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tsirel details].
-Made contributions to probability theory and functional analysis. They include:
-    * Tsirelson's bound, in quantum mechanics, is an inequality, related to issues of nonlocality and hidden variables.
-    * Tsirelson space is an example of a reflexive Banach space in which neither a lp space nor a c0 space can be embedded.
-    * The Tsirelson drift, a counterexample in the theory of stochastic differential equations.
-    * Gaussian isoperimetric inequality (proved by V. Sudakov, B. Tsirelson, and independently by Ch. Borell), stating that affine halfspaces are the isoperimetric sets for the Gaussian measure.
