Biography
Emory University - Mathematics
Mathematician, Musician/composer/record producer
Robert
Schneider, Ph.D.
Greater Atlanta Area
I am a recent Mathematics Ph.D. recipient from Emory University who worked under the supervision of Ken Ono. My research interests lie in number theory, combinatorics, mathematical music theory and statistical physics.
I am also an underground pop musician (lead singer of The Apples in stereo, Air-Sea Dolphin, and other bands), composer, indie record producer/engineer (Apples in stereo, Neutral Milk Hotel, Olivia Tremor Control, Yoko Ono, Minders, Beulah, et al.), and co-founder of The Elephant 6 Recording Co., a collective of musicians and artists.
I have active interests in physics (statistical physics, special relativity, gravitation, acoustics), knot theory, history of mathematics, ethnomathematics, philosophy, astronomy, poetry, electronics, visual and conceptual art, and experimental music.
Among a number of nerdy side projects, I have invented a "non-Pythagorean" musical scale based on logarithms, invented and composed for a mind-controlled synthesizer (the Teletron), composed a score based on prime numbers "Reverie in Prime Time Signatures" for a play by number theorist Andrew Granville and screenwriter Jennifer Granville, and designed a board game Al-Jabar based on abstract algebra with collaborator Cyrus Hettle. Plus a lot of other stuff too...

Mathematics Ph.D. Student
Graduate student at Emory University working under the supervision of Ken Ono, and undergraduate Calculus instructor, with research interests in the theory of numbers, in particular special functions in the orbit of modular forms (q-series, hypergeometric series, mock theta functions and other Eulerian series, quantum modular forms) and analytic number theory (prime distribution, Riemann zeta function, Dirichlet series).
