Sabir Medgidovich Gusein-Zade (Russian: Сабир Меджидович Гусейн-Заде; born 29 July 1950 in Moscow[1]) is a Russian mathematician and a specialist in singularity theory and its applications.[2]
He studied at Moscow State University, where he earned his Ph.D. in 1975 under the joint supervision of Sergei Novikov and Vladimir Arnold.[3] Before entering the university, he had earned a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad.[2]
Gusein-Zade co-authored with V. I. Arnold and A. N. Varchenko the textbook Singularities of Differentiable Maps (published in English by Birkhäuser).[2]
A professor in both the Moscow State University and the Independent University of Moscow, Gusein-Zade also serves as co-editor-in-chief for the Moscow Mathematical Journal.[4] He shares credit with Norbert A’Campo for results on the singularities of plane curves.[5][6][7]

An important result, due independently to A'Campo and Gusein-Zade, asserts that every plane curve singularity is equisingular to one defined over and admitting a real morsification with only 3 critical values

I would have liked to introduce the beautiful results of A'Campo and Gusein-Zade on the computation of the monodromy groups of plane curves

For map-germs very little is known about the existence of M-deformations beyond the classical result by A’Campo and Gusein–Zade that plane curve-germs always have M-deformations.
