Biography

I am a professor of mathematics at Yale University. I also hold secondary appointments in the physics and applied physics departments. My research interests are in mathematical physics. My current work is focused on many-body problems in quantum optics. I also have a longstanding interest in inverse problems. My early work on optical imaging was motivated by biomedical applications. Prior to joining the Yale faculty, I was a professor of mathematics and physics at University of Michigan, and founding director of the Michigan Center for Applied and Interdisciplinary Mathematics (MCAIM). I received the M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania.
