The study of problems at the interface of optical and condensed matter physics

Biographical Sketch: 
I am a Professor of Mathematics at Yale University. Prior to joining the Yale faculty, I was Professor of Mathematics and Physics at University of Michigan, and founding director of the Michigan Center for Applied and Interdisciplinary Mathematics (MCAIM). I have also held the Paris Sciences Chair at ESPCI from 2014-2019. I received the M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania.
Research: 
My research is in mathematical physics. In particular, I study problems at the interface of optical and condensed matter physics. I have a long-term interest in inverse problems with applications to imaging. My current work is focused on developing mathematical tools for many-body problems in quantum optics.
Education: 
Ph.D. 1996, University of Pennsylvania
