Lawrence Sirovich

American mathematician

Lawrence Sirovich is mathematical scientist whose research includes, among other topics, applied mathematics, neuroscience and physics. He is recognized as the pioneer behind modern face recognition, and is known for eigenfaces, the method of snapshots, low dimensional dynamical systems, analysis of the US Supreme Court, neuronal population dynamics, and the faithful copy neuron.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]

Early life and education

Sirovich was born to Jewish immigrants from Poland and raised in Brownsville, a working-class immigrant neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. He gained entrance to the Brooklyn Technical H.S., an experience which first opened his eyes to the possibilities of the world. There he was captain of the math team and years later, in 2018, inducted into the BTHS Hall of Fame.^[10] Sirovich attended Johns Hopkins University as an undergraduate math major, and as a graduate student in aeronautical engineering (wh
