Jared Wunsch

Jared Wunsch is professor of Mathematics at Northwestern University, where his research focuses on microlocal analysis and the propagation of singularities in partial differential equations. Wunsch earned his undergraduate degree from Princeton University before completing his Ph.D. in mathematics at Harvard University, where his fellowship began in 1993. His research investigates how waves propagate and scatter in geometric settings, with particular interest in diffraction around obstacles and corners and the long-time behavior of solutions to wave equations. This work has deep connections to both classical geometric optics and quantum mechanics.
