Daniel Pollack Professor, Graduate Admissions Director, appointed 1996 (Ph.D. Stanford 1991) Research area: Differential geometry, partial differential equations, general relativity Personal Web page: http://www.math.washington.edu/~pollack/ E-mail: pollack[_a_t_]math.washington.edu Phone: 543-1809 Office: PDL C-550 Office hours: Tu/1:00-3:00pm Courses taught this quarter: 125A, B Hobbies: Aikido, urban exploration, theater, literature, hiking Professional interests My research interests center on the applications of partial differential equations (PDE) and analysis to problems in geometry and physics. Many of the natural problems in geometry involve restrictions on the curvature of a space which may be expressed via the solutions to a nonlinear system of PDE. In recent years my work has specifically been in the area of mathematical general relativity.
