The Directory of Research and Researchers at Brown: Richard Schwartz

I am interested in simple problems in geometry, topology, and dynamical systems. Much of my research deals with the consequences of allowing a simple pattern or phenomenon to repeat forever. The kinds of patterns and constructions I study are idealized versions of what you would see in everyday life, such as a billiard ball bouncing around on a table, or the pattern of shapes on a turtle shell, or a beam of light reflecting in a series of curved mirrors.

I was born in Los Angeles, in 1966. I got my BS in Mathematics from UCLA in 1987 and
my PhD in Mathematics from Princeton in 1991. I was a speaker at the International
Congress of Mathematicians in 2002 and a Guggenheim Fellow in 2003. My hobbies
include comic book writing, computer programming, cycling, classical music, and
reading. I am married and have 2 daughters.
