Max-Albert Knus

Max-Albert Knus is a Swiss mathematician specializing in algebra.

He was born April 14, 1942, in Peseux, Neuchatel. He studied mathematics at ETH Zurich with Beno Eckmann and K. Chandrasekharan. With his thesis, On a class of filtered algebras, he graduated in 1967.

He was a Batelle-fellow at ETH and Brandeis University. He was director of research at University of Geneva. In 1969 he returned to ETH as a professor and became emeritus in 2007.

His research interests include quadratic forms, algebraic groups, Galois cohomology, and theory of algebras.

Since 1997 he has been a fellow of the Swiss National Science Foundation.
