Jacob Shapiro is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University. He holds a PhD in Theoretical Physics from ETH Zürich, awarded in 2018, where he was supervised by Gian Michele Graf. After completing his PhD, Shapiro undertook a postdoctoral position in the Mathematics Department at Columbia University and in the Physics Department at Princeton University. His research primarily focuses on mathematical physics, exploring problems in analysis and probability that arise from condensed matter physics and statistical mechanics. His particular interests include disordered topological insulators, Anderson localization, and random band matrices. He actively participates in the mathematical physics seminar and is involved in teaching courses such as Functional Analysis and Mathematical Physics. Shapiro’s recent works encompass a variety of topics, including the topological classification of insulators and the understanding of bulk-edge correspondence in different physical models, reflecting his engagement with contemporary developments in the field of mathematical physics.
