About Me
My name is Zachary Deiman; I usually prefer to be called "Zach." My preferred pronouns are he/him/his.
I am a fifth-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 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 the dimer model on various domains and analyzing convergence of discrete holomorphic functions. 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, learning chess, and spending time with friends and family.
Here is my Curriculum Vitae (updated December 2025). My email is zdeiman@umich.edu.
