Dr. Jacob Sterbenz received his PhD in Mathematics from the University of Maryland in 2003. After graduation, he received a fellowship from the National Science Foundation and was appointed as a Postdoctoral Scholar at Princeton University from 2003 to present. Princeton also appointed him as a Veblen Research Instructor from 2003-2006.

Dr. Sterbenz' current research interests center around the investigation of local and global (in time) regularity properties of non-linear wave equations. He also is interested in applications of harmonic analysis including wavelets and wavelet-like (various wave packet) decompositions, and probability theory.

Dr. Sterbenz served as a teaching assistant at University of Maryland during the period 1999-2001, while he was a graduate student.
