About

I am a professor in the math department at Texas A&M University. Before arriving here I was a Boas Assistant Professor at Northwestern University. I received my Ph.D from Stanford University in 2010. I was a student of Rafe Mazzeo and András Vasy.

I can be reached at dbaskin ‘at’ tamu.edu.

My research is in partial differential equations generally and in geometric microlocal analysis more specifically. I am particularly interested in the study of wave-like equations on singular backgrounds.

If you are a student interested in working with me, you should take the analysis qualifying exam. For the other qualifier, you should likely take the geometry/topology exam, as much of the analysis I do takes place on manifolds. For courses, you should definitely take all three introductory analysis courses (two semesters of real analysis and one of complex analysis). Beyond that, I am happy to provide other guidance.
