Jonathan Bennett (mathematician)

Jonathan Bennett is a mathematician and Professor of Mathematical Analysis at the University of Birmingham. He was a recipient of the Whitehead Prize of the London Mathematical Society in 2011 for "his foundational work on multilinear inequalities in harmonic and geometric analysis, and for a number of major results in the theory of oscillatory integrals."[1]

Education

In 1995 he graduated with a BA in mathematics from Hertford College at the University of Oxford. He went on to study for a PhD in harmonic analysis under Anthony Carbery at the University of Edinburgh, graduating in 1999.[2]

Career

Bennett has done postdoctoral work at the University of Edinburgh, the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid and Trinity College Dublin. He joined the University of Birmingham in 2005.[3] Bennett is an editor for the journals Mathematika and Quarterly Journal of Mathematics.[4][5]

Bennett is known for his work in harmonic analysis, particularly in applying the methods of heat flow monotonicity and induction-on-scale arguments to prove inequalities arising in harmonic and geometric analysis,[6] in particular for his work (jointly with Anthony Carbery and Terence Tao) on the multilinear Kakeya conjecture.[7] Bennett has an Erdős number of 3, via his collaboration with Tao.
