David Rosenthal is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science at St. John's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, St. John's University. He has been at St. John's since 2004 and holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from SUNY Binghamton University (2002).
Education:
- B.S., 1996, SUNY Binghamton University, Mathematics
- M.A., 1998, SUNY Binghamton University, Mathematics

Professor Rosenthal specializes in Algebraic and Geometric Topology with research interests spanning coarse geometry, asymptotic dimension theory, and applications to K-theory and L-theory. His work primarily focuses on the intersection of topology, geometry, and group theory, particularly examining how geometric properties of spaces relate to algebraic invariants of groups. He has made significant contributions to the understanding of decomposition complexity, hyperbolic dimension, and the Baum-Connes assembly map in geometric group theory.
An analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on geometric and topological properties of groups, particularly exploring how asymptotic dimension and decomposition complexity relate to algebraic invariants. His research often involves collaboration with leading mathematicians in the field, especially Andrew Nicas, with whom he has co-authored numerous papers. His work bridges pure mathematics with applications in coarse geometry and has implications for understanding the structure of large-scale geometric spaces.
Scientific Awards:
- J. William Fulbright Scholars Award (2010)
Professor Rosenthal has been actively involved in the mathematical research community, regularly presenting his work at international conferences and seminars. He has made multiple research visits to the Bonn Topology Group in Germany and has co-organized significant workshops such as the Workshop on Large Scale Geometry and Applications at the Fields Institute (2018). He has also co-authored the textbook "A Readable Introduction to Real Mathematics" (Second Edition, 2018) with Daniel Rosenthal and Peter Rosenthal, which has been translated into Greek (2023). His teaching includes courses such as Senior Seminar and Introduction to Mathematical Thinking. Professor Rosenthal has established himself as a prominent researcher in geometric topology with international collaborations spanning Germany, Canada, Spain, and Denmark.
