Daniel Tătaru

Daniel Tataru (actually Daniel Tătaru, born May 6, 1967 in Romania ) is a Romanian- American mathematician who deals with Analysis.

Tataru grew up in Piatra Neamt on in Romania and won as a student three times the national and the international Mathematical Olympiad twice. He studied at the University of Iaşi. His diploma thesis in 1990 Viorel Barbu was Hamilton -Jacobi equations in Banach spaces and nonlinear semigroups, she won a prize of the Romanian Academy of Sciences ( Gheorghe Ţiţeica price). In 1992 he received his doctorate from the University of Virginia at Irena Lasiecka. After that, he was Assistant Professor at Northwestern University, where he became Associate Professor and in 1999 Professor in 1996. From 2001 he is professor at the University of California, Berkeley. 1995 to 1997 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study.

Tataru Carleman estimates and deals with issues unique continuability partial differential equations with applications in control theory. Later, especially with nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations and their connections to harmonic analysis, geometry and mathematical physics.

In 2002 he received the Bôcher Memorial Prize for his work on Global Existence and Scattering for the Wave Equations Maps of the important geometric context in wave -map, a generalized wave equation. Tataru 's work was the prerequisite for the progress achieved by Terence Tao for regularity of these equations.

He is an honorary member of the Institute of Mathematics Simion Stoilov in Bucharest. In 2002 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM ) in Beijing ( Nonlinear wave equations ). He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
