Biography

Jeffrey Rabin received his Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford University in 1981. He is a mathematical physicist specializing in supermanifolds and their applications, including super Riemann surfaces, algebraic geometry, supercurves, supervarieties, and supersymmetric integrable systems. Rabin contributed to the development of the theory of super Riemann surfaces and its applications in perturbative string theory. He has held research positions at Yale University from 1981 to 1983 and at the University of Chicago from 1983 to 1987 before moving to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). In 1998, he helped design the Algebraic Thinking Institute (ATI) at UCSD, an intensive summer professional development institute for high school algebra teachers, and served as co-director of the ATI in 1999, 2000, and 2003. He is also a faculty member in the Mathematics Science Education Department, which is a joint Ph.D. program between UCSD and San Diego State University (SDSU).
