New Faculty and Postdoctoral Associates, 2023-2024
The Department of Mathematics welcomed three tenure-line faculty, eight professional teaching faculty, and four postdoctoral associates. Learn more about the faculty on the department’s website.
Tenure-Track Faculty
Hung Nguyen
Assistant Professor, Probability
My interest in research lies mainly in the field of probability and stochastic differential equations (SDEs). I am currently working on Lyapunov constructions for SDEs to obtain ergodicity and mixing.
Yulan Qing
Assistant Professor, Topology
My research interests lie in the field of low-dimensional topology and geometric group theory. My current research projects include the generalization of the Gromov boundary, studies of various notions of genericity in groups, geometricity in Out(Fn), and generalizations of curve graphs in different settings.
Xinyue Zhao
Assistant Professor, Math Biology
My research interests lie in the field of partial differential equations and applied mathematics. In particular, I am interested in using mathematical tools, both theoretical and numerical, to analyze biological and physical models and discover exciting implications from these models.
Postdoctoral Associates
Letian Chen
Geometric Analysis
I earned a doctorate from Johns Hopkins University in 2023 under the direction of Professor Jacob Bernstein. I am interested in geometric analysis and geometric measure theory, in particular, mean curvature flows, minimal surfaces, and other geometric evolution equations.
Efstathios K. Chrontsios Garitsis
Analysis
My research interests are mostly focused on fractals and include fractal geometry, quasiconformal mappings, analysis and geometry on metric spaces, and complex dynamics. I also am interested in connections of fractal geometry with optimization and number theory.
Wyatt Mackey
Data Science
I earned my PhD from Stanford University under the direction of Professors Gunnar Carlsson and Ravi Zakil. My research areas include applied algebraic topology and cohomology.
