Professional career
editHe received his B.S. from Yale University in 1963 and his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1969 working under Halsey Royden. His Ph.D. thesis was titled: Holomorphic Mappings and algebras of holomorphic functions of several complex variables. He has previously taught at University of Notre Dame before joining Ruhr University Bochum in 1980.
Huckleberry has honorary doctor’s degrees from University of Lile (France) in 1997, and from University of Nancy (France) in 2002.
In addition to pure mathematics, he also works in applications of symplectic geometry in quantum entanglement and in other problems of mathematical physics.
