Prof. Hezari obtained his PhD from Johns Hopkins University in 2009. Following that, he served as a CLE Moore instructor at MIT from 2009 to 2012. During the fall of 2010, he held a postdoctoral position at the MSRI program on inverse problems. Currently, he holds a professorial position at UCI. His research primarily focuses on analysis and PDEs. Prof. Hezari has a keen interest in semiclassical/microlocal analysis and its diverse applications in PDE and mathematical physics, particularly in spectral geometry and quantum chaos. Notably, he has contributed significantly to the field with 28 high-quality publications, including works published in Annals.
