Jared Wunsch is an American mathematician working in the areas of partial differential equations, microlocal analysis, spectral theory and mathematical physics. He is currently a professor of mathematics at Northwestern University.[https://math.northwestern.edu/~jwunsch/ Website at Northwestern University]
Education and career
Wunsch attended Princeton University, obtaining his A.B. in mathematics with a senior thesis under the supervision of Elias M. Stein in 1993.{{r|cv}} He received his PhD from Harvard University under the supervision of Richard B. Melrose in 1998.[https://www.mathgenealogy.org/id.php?id=53174 Jared Wunsch] in the Mathematics Genealogy Project Following his postdoctoral appointment at the Columbia University, he was an assistant professor at Stony Brook University from 2000 to 2002. After this appointment, he joined Northwestern University and became tenured in 2009. He served as department chair from 2012 to 2015.

Wunsch was elected a fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2013,{{cite web | url=http://www.ams.org/fellows_by_year.cgi?year=2013 | title=Fellows of the American Mathematical Society }} and, along with Bryna Kra, he was awarded the Simons Fellowship in mathematics by the Simons Foundation in 2021.{{cite web | url=https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2021/02/bryna-kra-and-jared-wunsch-awarded-simons-fellowship-in-mathematics/ | title=Bryna Kra and Jared Wunsch awarded Simons Fellowship in Mathematics }}
Research
The main feature of Wunsch's work is the application of tools from microlocal analysis to problems in Schrödinger and wave equations, as well as numerical analysis. He analyzed the propagation of singularities for solutions of wave equation on conic manifolds with Richard B. MelroseRichard B. Melrose, and Jared Wunsch, "Propagation of singularities for the wave equation on conic manifolds," Invent. Math. 156(2), pp. 235–299 (2004) and later on edge manifolds with Richard B. Melrose and András Vasy.Richard B.

include his work on resolvent estimates on hyperbolic trapped sets with Maciej ZworskiJared Wunsch, and Maciej Zworski, [https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00023-011-0108-1 "Resolvent estimates for normally hyperbolic trapped sets"], Ann.
