Arthur Jaffe

The remarriage of mathematics with theoretical physics over the past forty years has markedly realigned the perspective in both these classical subjects.

The spirit of unification which dominated science during the latter half of the twentieth century enables one to dream of greater understanding in the twenty-first.

Inspiring talented youth to pursue mathematics and science, while maintaining a robust, diverse, and enduring infrastructure for research, represents our best investment to create a prosperous, healthy, and harmonious world.

Main research activity from September 2017: participating in and directing The Mathematical Picture Language Project at Harvard. Note postdoctoral position.
