About

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

Jonathan has numerous publications in leading international mathematical journals and has received major research grants from the EPSRC. Jonathan currently holds an ERC Starting Grant entitled Transversal Multilinear Harmonic Analysis. In 2011 Jonathan received a Whitehead Prize from the London Mathematical Society for his contributions to Geometric and Harmonic Analysis.

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 interests lie in multivariable Euclidean harmonic analysis and its interactions with problems in geometric analysis and combinatorics. Recently he has been investigating the scope of heat-flow methods and induction-on-scales arguments in the analysis of geometric inequalities arising in the restriction theory for the Fourier transform.

Other activities

  • Editorial Adviser for the Proceedings, Journal and Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society
  • Analysis Subject Editor for the Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society
  • Director of the LMS-funded “UK Harmonic Analysis and PDE Research Network”
