As a graduate student in Chicago, his advisor, Peter Jones,[1] took a position at Yale University, causing Bishop to spend the years 1985–87 at Yale as a visiting graduate student and programmer.
In 1992 he joined, and remains on, the faculty of Stony Brook University, attaining the rank of full professor there in 1997.
[2] Bishop is known for his contributions to geometric function theory,[3][4][5][6] Kleinian groups,[7][8][9][10][11] complex dynamics,[12][13] and computational geometry;[14][15] and in particular for topics such as fractals, harmonic measure, conformal and quasiconformal mappings and Julia sets.
[20] He is on the editorial board of the journal Annales Academiae Scientiarum Fennicae Mathematica as of July 1, 2021.
