Dr. Weinkove received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Columbia University in 2004. Since then he has been a Benjamin Peirce Assistant Professor at Harvard University, except in 2005-6, when he held a Royal Society Research Assistant position at Imperial College in London.

Dr Weinkove's research is on geometric analysis and differential equations on manifolds. His main research projects have centered on canonical metrics in Kahler geometry, the J-flow, the Kahler-Ricci flow and the Calabi-Yau equation on symplectic manifolds. Weinkove's research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, and he has published 14 research papers. He was recently awarded a prestigious Sloan Foundation Fellowship.

Dr. Weinkove has a strong track record of outstanding teaching at Harvard, and received a teaching award at Harvard. At UCSD, Dr. Weinkove is expected to teach lower division calculus courses, upper division courses, and graduate courses in geometry, analysis, and partial differential equations.
