Jacob Bernstein

Jacob Bernstein is a Professor and Vice-Chair in the Department of Mathematics at Johns Hopkins University (JHU), part of the Krieger School of Arts & Sciences. He holds a PhD from MIT (2009) under Tobias Colding. His research focuses on geometric analysis, particularly minimal surfaces and mean curvature flow. He co-organizes the Analysis and PDE Seminar at JHU and the Metro Area Differential Geometry Seminar with the University of Maryland and Howard University.

**Education**: PhD in Mathematics, MIT (2009).

**Research Interests**: Geometric analysis, minimal surface theory, mean curvature flow, and their applications in differential geometry and PDEs. His work explores topics like entropy, geometric flows, and singularities in minimal surfaces.

**Teaching**: Taught courses including Real Analysis, Multivariable Calculus, Riemannian Geometry, and graduate-level Real Analysis.

**Affiliations**: Active in academic leadership roles at JHU and collaborates widely with institutions like UMD and Howard. His work bridges theoretical mathematics with applications in geometry and analysis.
