For this he was awarded the Leibniz Medallion by Wolfram Research in 2007. On the theoretical side, Chaitin is best known for his discovery of the remarkable Ω number, a concrete example of irreducible complexity in pure mathematics, and which shows that mathematics is inﬁnitely complex. He was formerly at the IBM Watson Research Center in New York, where he was part of a small team that developed the Power processor architecture and its associated software. Mathematicians are challenging the widely shared Platonic view that mathematical laws exist outside of space and time suggest that mathematics is a human creation, not arbitrary but arising from.

Gregory Chaitin is an Argentine-American mathematician living in Rio de Janeiro, and a lifetime honorary professor of the University of Buenos Aires with an honorary doctorate in philosophy from the University of Córdoba,the oldest university in Argentina and one of the oldest in South America.
