Jonathan is a Mathematical Analyst, specialising in Harmonic Analysis and its interactions with a variety of other branches of Mathematics. He is a member of the Analysis Group in the School of Mathematics.

Jonathan has received research grants from the EPSRC and ERC. In 2011 he received a Whitehead Prize from the London Mathematical Society for his contributions to Geometric and Harmonic Analysis.

Qualifications

  • PhD in Harmonic Analysis, University of Edinburgh, 1999
  • BA in Mathematics, University of Oxford, 1995

Biography

Jonathan Bennett qualified with a first class BA (Hons) in Mathematics from Hertford College, Oxford in 1995. He went on to study for a PhD in Harmonic Analysis at the University of Edinburgh, followed by postdoctoral positions at the University of Edinburgh, the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and Trinity College Dublin. Jonathan joined the School of Mathematics here at Birmingham in 2005.

Teaching

Semester 1

LC Sequences and Series

Postgraduate supervision

Jonathan is interested in supervising doctoral research students in all aspects of Euclidean Harmonic Analysis.

Research

Research Themes

  • Harmonic Analysis

Research Activity

Jonathan's main interests lie in multivariable Euclidean harmonic analysis and its interactions with geometric analysis, partial differential equations and combinatorial geometry. Recently he has been investigating the scope of heat-flow techniques, induction-on-scales arguments, and tomographic methods in the restriction theory of the Fourier transform. Of particular interest to Jonathan are the many ways in which oscillatory phenomena, such as bounds on oscillatory integral operators, are governed by underlying geometric notions such as curvature or transversality.
