About Me
My name is Zachary Deiman; I usually prefer to be called "Zach." My preferred pronouns are he/him/his.
I am a rising sixth-year Mathematics Ph.D. candidate at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, where I also received a Master of Science in Mathematics. My advisor is Dmitry Chelkak. I will be on the job market in Fall 2026.
I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, with two minors in Computer Science and Astrophysics.
My mathematical interests broadly include complex analysis, probability, random tilings, and undergraduate mathematics education. Currently, I am studying convergence of height fluctuations in the dimer model on various domains. In past projects, I analyzed partial differential equations in the context of striped pattern growth.
Outside of math, I enjoy composing and performing music, programming video games, solo traveling, and spending time with friends and family.
