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. I received the M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania.
