Brandon Legried

I am a postdoc in the Statistics department at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, working with Ed Ionides and Jonathan Terhorst. My interests are in probability, applied mathematics, mathematical statistics, and theoretical computer science. I focus on applications in computational biology and genetics. Previously, I earned a PhD in Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Sebastien Roch. Before that, I earned undergraduate degrees in Mathematics and Finance at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. A copy of my CV is here. Details can be found on the other pages of this website.
