Pierre Deligne is one of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century. His work has had a revolutionary impact on many fields, including geometry, algebra, number theory, topology, and mathematical physics. Among his achievements are his solution to the Weil conjectures in algebraic geometry and the Ramanujan conjecture in number theory, his solution to Hilbert's twenty-first problem and its generalization to higher dimensions, his work on modular forms and Hodge Theory, to mention a few.
