Jill Catherine Pipher is the Elisha Benjamin Andrews Professor of Mathematics at Brown University. She has held roles including Vice President for Research at Brown (2017–2024) and has been a faculty member since 1990, progressing from Associate Professor to her current rank. Her research focuses on harmonic analysis, elliptic PDEs with non-smooth coefficients, and lattice-based cryptography. Pipher earned a PhD in Mathematics from UCLA in 1985 and has been a Dickson Instructor at the University of Chicago (1985–87) and Assistant Professor there (1987–1990).
Her research interests include multiparameter Fourier analysis, boundary value problems for elliptic operators, and applications of cryptography. Notable contributions include work on the Dirichlet problem, NTRU cryptosystem development, and multi-parameter paraproducts. She has been funded by NSF grants totaling over $900,000 and has published extensively in journals like the American Journal of Mathematics and Journal of the American Mathematical Society.
