Rowan Killip
American mathematician
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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
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
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]
