Askold Georgievich Khovanskii (; born 3 June 1947) is a Russian-Canadian mathematician currently at the University of Toronto.Askold Khovanskii's CV His areas of research are algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, singularity theory, differential geometry and differential equations. His research is in the development of the theory of toric varieties and Newton polyhedra in algebraic geometry. He is also the inventor of the theory of fewnomials, and the Bernstein–Khovanskii–Kushnirenko theorem is named after him.
He obtained his Ph.D. in 1973 from the Steklov Mathematical Institute in Moscow under the supervision of Vladimir Arnold.https://www.mathgenealogy.org/id.php?id=49054 In his Ph.D. thesis, he developed a topological version of Galois theory. He studied the theory of Newton–Okounkov bodies.
