Bernard Morin

Morin lost his sight at the age of six due to glaucoma, but his blindness did not prevent him from having a successful career in mathematics.

[2] He received his Ph.D. in 1972 from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.

Morin discovered the first parametrization of Boy's surface (earlier used as a half-way model), in 1978.

[5] Morin worked at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
