Tomasz Mrowka (born September 8, 1961) is an American mathematician specializing in differential geometry and gauge theory. He is the Singer Professor of Mathematics and head of the Department of Mathematics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Mrowka is married to MIT mathematics professor Gigliola Staffilani.
A 1983 graduate of MIT, he received the PhD from University of California, Berkeley in 1988 under the direction of Clifford Taubes and Robion Kirby. He joined the MIT mathematics faculty as professor in 1996, following faculty appointments at Stanford and at Caltech (professor 1994–96). At MIT, he was the Simons Professor of Mathematics from 2007-2010, and was named the Simons Professor of Mathematics in 2010. He was named head of the Department of Mathematics in 2014.
A prior Sloan fellow and Young Presidential Investigator, he was selected for a Clay Mathematics Visiting Professorship in 1995. In 2007, he received the Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry from the AMS jointly with Peter Kronheimer, "for their joint contributions to both three- and four-dimensional topology through the development of deep analytical techniques and applications." He was named a Guggenheim Fellow in 2010, and in 2011 received the Doob Prize with Peter B. Kronheimer for their book Monopoles and Three-Manifolds (Cambridge University Press, 2007). He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences.
