Biography
I’m Jason Garnier, a French PhD student in Mathematics at the University of Florida, where I explore the frontiers of semi-classical analysis and quantum chaos. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant, I’m passionate about making complex ideas accessible by breaking down challenging concepts into clear, intuitive steps and creating an environment where curiosity sparks genuine understanding.
Outside the classroom, I’m fueled by the perfect cup of coffee and the insights of great philosophers. I love discovering new landscapes, whether on a spontaneous road trip or a weekend hike, and relaxing with a film. I bring that spirit of curiosity and exploration to every office hour and, trying to help you build confidence and enthusiasm in your mathematical journey.
Areas of Interest/Research
- Semiclassical analysis and quantum chaos (especially the Quantum Unique Ergodicity conjecture)
- Functional analysis, dynamical systems, spectral theory, and operator theory
- Spectral geometry, Differential geometry and Riemannian geometry (with a focus on negatively curved manifolds)
