Alexander Volberg (Russian: Александр Львович Вольберг) is a Russian mathematician. He is working in operator theory, complex analysis and harmonic analysis. He received the Salem Prize in 1988 for his work in harmonic analysis.[1] Also he received the Lars Onsager medal in 2004.[2] He is currently a University Distinguished Professor at Michigan State University.[3] From 2007-2008 he was the Sir Edmund Whittaker Professor of Mathematical Science at the University of Edinburgh.[4]

He was named to the 2021 class of fellows of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to harmonic analysis and its relations to geometric measure theory".[5]
