Nicholas William Hanges was a mathematician and professor at Lehman College of the City University of New York, known for his work in partial differential equations and the theory of several complex variables.

Hanges earned his B.S degree in mathematics from the New York City College in 1970. He received his M.A. (1975) and Ph.D. (1976) from Purdue University,^[2][3][4] under the supervision of M. Salah Baouendi. He was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study in 1977-1978, 1980-1981, 1991-1992 and again in 1994.^[3] In 1983, Hanges joined the faculty of Lehman College of the City University of New York as a Professor of Mathematics from the University of Pittsburgh. From 2017 he served as Chairman of the Mathematics Department.^[5]

• In 1982, Hanges received an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship.^[3][6]
