Stanisław J. Szarek (born November 13, 1953) is a Polish professor of mathematics at both Case Western Reserve University in the USA (since 1983) and Pierre and Marie Curie University in France (since 1996).[1] His research concerns convex geometry and functional analysis.[2][3]

Szarek was born in Lądek-Zdrój, Poland.[1] He earned a master's degree from the University of Warsaw in 1976, and a Ph.D. from the Polish Academy of Sciences in 1979 under the supervision of Aleksander Pełczyński.[1][4] He continued at the Polish Academy as a research fellow for four years before taking a faculty position at Case,[1] where he is now the Kerr Professor of Mathematics.[3]

Szarek won a gold medal in the 1971 International Mathematical Olympiad.[1] He was an invited speaker at the 2006 International Congress of Mathematicians.[1][3][5] In 2007 he won the Langevin Prize of the French Academy of Sciences.[2] In 2012 he became one of the inaugural fellows of the American Mathematical Society[3][6] and in 2017 he was awarded the Sierpiński medal.[7]
