معرفی
Gregory Knese is a Professor of Mathematics and Director of Graduate Studies at Washington University in St. Louis (WashU), where he also earned his PhD in 2007. His research focuses on operator theory, complex analysis, harmonic analysis, and stable polynomials. He holds editorial roles at the Bulletin and Journal of the London Mathematical Society. Knese has led NSF-funded projects exploring operator theory, stable polynomials, and harmonic analysis. His work bridges pure mathematics with applications in astronomy and engineering. He teaches advanced courses like Measure Theory and Functional Analysis, and has advised PhD students such as Jeet Sampat and Jerry Li. Knese’s academic journey includes roles at UC Irvine and the University of Alabama before joining WashU in 2013.
Education: PhD in Mathematics (2007), B.S. in Mathematics (2002), both from WashU and Truman State University respectively.
Research Interests: Operator theory, complex function theory, stable polynomials, sums of squares, and harmonic analysis. His recent work explores Schur-Agler classes, von Neumann inequalities, and cyclic polynomials in multidimensional spaces.
Grants & Service: Secured multiple NSF grants (e.g., 2023-2026 for stable polynomials and rational singularities). Organized major conferences like GPOTS 2022 and the 2016 International Workshop on Operator Theory. Active in editorial boards and academic service roles.
Teaching & Mentoring: Taught over 20 courses, including Honors Mathematics and Analytic Combinatorics. Supervised PhD and undergraduate research projects, emphasizing mentorship in pure mathematics.
