Nikolay Zak is a Russian mathematician and analyst. He is known for his research and publication of articles skeptical of the claim that Jeanne Calment of France was the oldest person in the world when she died in 1997 at age 122. Schooling and career Zak received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Moscow State University (MSU) in 2007 and his Master’s in Economics in 2006 from the New Economic School in Moscow. He is a member of the Moscow Society of Naturalists. The claim attracted widespread media attention around 30 December 2018 after postings by gerontology blogger Yuri Deigin went viral. The theory, however, was met with strong criticism by French demographist and gerontologist Jean-Marie Robine. Robine had been on the team of analysts that had verified Calment's longevity in the 1990s. |
