He was a Trustee Chair and Professor of mathematics at [[Northwestern University]].<ref>[http://www.math.northwestern.edu/people/facultyProfiles/andrei.suslin.html Andrei Suslin, faculty profile] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100610162004/http://www.math.northwestern.edu/people/facultyProfiles/andrei.suslin.html |date=June 10, 2010 }}, Department of Mathematics, [[Northwestern University]]</ref>
He was born on 27 December 1950 in [[St. Petersburg]], [[Russia]]. As a youth, he was an "all Leningrad" gymnast.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Friedlander |first1=Eric M. |title=About the cover: Andrei Suslin, 1950–2018 |journal=Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society |date=24 September 2019 |volume=57 |issue=1 |pages=107–109 |doi=10.1090/bull/1682 |doi-access=free }}</ref> He received his PhD from [[Leningrad University]] in 1974; his thesis was titled ''Projective modules over polynomial rings''.<ref>{{MathGenealogy |id=25531}}.</ref>
In 1976 he and [[Daniel Quillen]] independently proved [[Quillen–Suslin theorem|Serre's conjecture]] about the triviality of algebraic [[vector bundle]]s on [[affine space]].
In 1982 he and [[Alexander Merkurjev]] proved the [[Merkurjev–Suslin theorem]] on the norm residue homomorphism in Milnor K2-theory, with applications to the [[Brauer group]].
Suslin was an [[list of International Congresses of Mathematicians Plenary and Invited Speakers|invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians]] in 1978 and 1994, and he gave a plenary invited address at the Congress in 1986. He was awarded the [[Cole Prize|Frank Nelson Cole Prize]] in Algebra in 2000 by the [[American Mathematical Society]] for his work on [[motivic cohomology]].<ref>{{cite journal |title=2000 Cole Prize |journal=Notices of the American Mathematical Society |date=April 2000 |volume=47 |issue=4 |pages=481–482 |url=https://www.ams.org/notices/200004/comm-cole.pdf }}</ref>
