Jacob Sterbenz
Assistant Professor of Mathematics


Education
Ph.D. Mathematics, University of Maryland, 2003
B.S. Mathematics, University of Maryland, 1998

Biography
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.
