He was professor at Cornell University.〔Marques, F. C. (2005). "On the mathematical work of José F. Escobar", ''Matemática Contemporânea'', Vol. 29, pp. 41–61.〕〔(Cornell University News, "José Escobar, Cornell mathematics professor, dies at age 49" )〕 Escobar obtained his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1986, under the supervision of Richard Schoen.〔(Mathematics Genealogy Project )〕 In his thesis he solved the problem known as "the boundary Yamabe problem", that had been previously settled only for the case of manifolds without boundary.〔 He died from cancer on 3 January 2004, at the age 49.〔 Among the awards he received for his work were "the Alfred Sloan Fellowship" and "the Presidential Faculty Fellowship" (received at the White House directly from the hands of the President of the United States).〔(Proceedings of the International Conference in Memory of Professor José Fernando Escobar )〕 Mathematician Fernando Codá Marques was a student of him.〔 ==Selected publications== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「José F.
