Rowan Killip is an American–New Zealand mathematician at the University of California, Los Angeles whose work focuses on mathematical physics, particularly partial differential equations. He won a Sloan Research Fellowship in 2004[2] and a Simons Fellowship in Mathematics in 2015.[3] In 2023, he won, along with Monica Vișan, the Frontiers of Science Award at the International Congress for Basic Science in Beijing, China for proving the global well-posedness of the Korteweg–De Vries equation in the Sobolev space H-1.[4][5]

Early life and education

[edit]

Killip was an undergraduate at the University of Auckland.[6] He completed his Ph.D. at the California Institute of Technology in 2000. His doctoral advisor was Barry Simon; his doctoral thesis was titled Perturbations of One-Dimensional Schrödinger Operators Preserving the Absolutely Continuous Spectrum.[7]

Career

[edit]

Following his doctoral studies, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, the Institute for Advanced Study,[8] and the Mittag-Leffler Institute before returning to Caltech again.[9] He joined the faculty at UCLA as an assistant professor in 2003, becoming full professor in 2009.[10]
