Eva Loeser

My name is Eva Loeser, and I am a Post-Doctoral Research Associate at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill in the Department of Statistics & Operations Research Department, working in the Networks RTG with the mentorship of Amarjit Budhiraja.

Previously, I was a PhD student at UCSD working under Professor Ruth J Williams. My research interest is Stochastic Processing Networks, an exciting and applicable subfield of probability.  My recent work includes analysis of load balancing in many server queues, measure-valued diffusion approximations for queueing systems, and connections between semimartingale reflected Brownian motions and diffusion limits of various particle processes.

Outside of research, I am passionate about teaching, mentoring, and supporting women in mathematics. During graduate school, with the help of fellow graduate students Evangelos Nikitopoulos and Emily Zhu, I spearheaded the effort to re-start UCSD's chapter of Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) and served a full 2-year term as President of the chapter during the second and third years of my PhD. During my second year as President, the chapter received the AWM Student Chapter Award in Professional Development from the national AWM organization. I also received the departmental TA award that year for my teaching performance. I was a Summer Graduate Teaching Scholar at UCSD in the summer of 2023. In the 2021-2022 school year, I received our Graduate and Professional Student Association's Community Award in Peer Mentorship.
