Abstract: 

Dr. Matiyasevich is a distinguished logician and mathematician based at the Steklov Institute of Mathematics at St. Petersburg. He is known for his outstanding work in logic, number theory and the theory of algorithms.

At the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris in 1900 David Hilbert presented a famous list of 23 unsolved problems. It was 70 years later before a solution was found for Hilbert's tenth problem. Matiyasevich, at the young age of 22, acheived international fame for his solution.
