  • Jean Vincent Bellissard (born 1 March 1946, Lyon) is a French theoretical physicist and mathematical physicist, known for his work on noncommutative geometry and the quantum Hall effect.Bellisard worked as a teaching assistant at the École catholique des arts et métiers (E.C.A.M.) from 1965 to 1969.
  • He graduated from the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 with bachelor's degree in 1967, Diplôme d'études approfondies (DEA) in wave mechanics in 1968, and DEA in theoretical physics in 1970.
  • He qualified in 1969 with the Agrégation in physics.
  • From 1969 to 1970 he taught at Lyon's Lycée La Martinière, an engineering preparatory school, and was simultaneously enrolled as a graduate student in theoretical physics at the Aix-Marseille University.
  • In 1974 he received his doctorate from the Aix-Marseille University with thesis Champs quantifiés dans un champ exterieur (Quantized fields in an external field) with advisor Raymond Stora.
  • Bellissard was a postdoc from 1974 to 1974 at the University of Lausanne with advisor Jean-Jacques Loeffel.
  • At the Université de Provence Aix-Marseille I, Bellissard was from 1970 to 1980 an assistant professor, from 1980 to 1991 an associate professor, and from 1991 to 2007 a full professor.On a visit from October 1979 to January 1980 at the Institut des hautes études scientifiques (I.H.É.S.) he worked with Alain Connes and started on a program of research on the noncommutative geometry of aperiodic solids.
