He has bachelor’s and master’s degrees from BYU and master’s and doctoral degrees from Princeton University. In 1995 he received a National Science Foundation CAREER award.
Professor Jarvis’s research interests include algebraic geometry and symmetry—especially symmetries arising in the geometry of high-energy physics.
He enjoys playing racquetball with his students and faculty colleagues and building everything from robots to ziplines with his wife, five daughters, two sons, and anyone else who might be interested.
