Since 1983, he is a full professor of mathematics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich.
Trubowitz studies scattering theory (some with Percy Deift, and inverse scattering theory), integrable systems and their connection to algebraic geometry, mathematical theory of Fermi liquids in the statistical mechanics.
In 1994 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich (A rigorous (renormalization group) analysis of superconducting systems).
