Life and work

Trubowitz, who was born in 1951, received his doctorate in 1977 under the supervision of Henry McKean at New York University, with thesis titled The inverse problem for periodic potentials. Since 1983, he is a full professor of mathematics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. As of 2016, he has retired from his position at ETH.

Trubowitz studies scattering theory (some with Percy Deift, and inverse scattering theory), integrable systems and their connection to algebraic geometry, mathematical theory of Fermi liquids in the statistical mechanics.

In 1994 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zürich; his talk was on A rigorous (renormalization group) analysis of superconducting systems.

gollark: But the question just states it as fact and has "yes, torture fat person" and "no, no torturing fat person, you are awful and want the entire city to be explodinated".
gollark: I suppose you could argue that I don't believe it as a "matter of principle" thing, but from what I've heard torture is *not* actually a very effective way to get information.
gollark: For example, there's - on the "fat man" trolley problem question - a question about "do you believe torture is always wrong as a matter of principle" and then "bla bla bla nuclear device torture fat man or not".
gollark: I don't like this philosophyexperiments.com site, it seems to imply things.
gollark: I can make the antimemetics antimemetic such that nobody ever finds out.
