Benjamin Harrop-Griffiths

Benjamin Harrop-Griffiths is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Georgetown University. His research focuses on partial differential equations (PDEs) and analysis, particularly nonlinear waves and fluid dynamics. He investigates topics such as integrable PDEs, vortex filaments, wave turbulence, and degenerate dispersive equations. His work has been supported by grants like the NSF DMS-2406816 and the Simons Foundation Junior Fellowship.

He has taught courses including Differential Geometry, Real Analysis, and Complex Variables at Georgetown. Previously, he held positions at UCLA and NYU’s Courant Institute. He earned his PhD from UC Berkeley under Daniel Tataru and his undergraduate degree from Magdalen College, Oxford.

Key research contributions include studies on the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation, Navier-Stokes vortex filaments, and compactons. His awards include the Simons Society of Fellows Junior Fellowship. He currently resides in Washington, D.C., with his family.
