معرفی
Emil J. Straube is a Professor of Mathematics at Texas A&M University, where he has held the rank of Professor since 1996 and served as Department Head from 2011 to 2019. He earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) in 1983 under Prof. K. Osterwalder. His research focuses on Several Complex Variables, with emphasis on the ∂-Neumann problem, Bergman kernel, and boundary regularity of solutions to Cauchy-Riemann equations.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Mathematics, ETH Zurich, 1983
- Diploma in Mathematics (dipl. math. ETH), ETH Zurich, 1977
Research Interests:
His work bridges complex analysis, partial differential equations, and operator theory. Key topics include global regularity of the ∂-Neumann operator, compactness estimates, D’Angelo forms, and the Diederich-Fornaess index. He has contributed foundational results on Sobolev regularity and geometric conditions for subellipticity.
Publications & Awards:
With over 50 peer-reviewed articles, Straube has authored influential monographs such as Lectures on the L2-Sobolev Theory of the ∂-Neumann Problem. Notable accolades include the Stefan Bergman Prize (1995, jointly with H.P. Boas), AMS Fellow (2013), and Texas A&M’s Distinguished Achievement Award (1998). His work has been supported by NSF grants totaling over $3 million and international collaborations at institutions like the Erwin Schrödinger Institute (Vienna).
Service & Leadership:
- Organized major conferences, including the 2015 Qatar Complex Analysis Conference
- Edited journals such as Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications and Complex Analysis and Its Synergies
- Guided 7 Ph.D. students and co-mentored numerous postdocs
Current Activities:
Active in teaching advanced graduate courses (e.g., Complex Variables I/II) and continues research in global regularity theory and CR geometry.
