Spencer Janney Bloch (b. May 22, 1944; New York City[1]) is an American mathematician known for his contributions to algebraic geometry and algebraic K-theory. Bloch is a R. M. Hutchins Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Chicago. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences[2] and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences[3][4] and of the American Mathematical Society.[5] Bloch gave invited lectures at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1978 and in 1990.[4] He was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study in 1981-82.[6] He received a Humboldt Prize in 1996.[7]

Election Citation: "Bloch has done pioneering work in the application of higher algebraic K-theory to algebraic geometry, particularly in problems related to algebraic cycles, and is regarded as the world's leader in this field. His work has firmly established higher K-theory as a fundamental tool in algebraic geometry."
