Evan Sorensen

I am a Joseph F. Ritt Assistant Professor in the mathematics department at Columbia University.   In June 2023, I completed my PhD in Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin—Madison, advised by Timo Seppäläinen. My area of research lies in the theory of probability and stochastic processes. In particular, I am interested in the central objects of the KPZ universality class, as well as their known and conjectured prelimiting models such as first-and last-passage percolation, random polymers, and interacting particle systems. I received an MA in mathematics from UW-Madison in 2020 and a BS in mathematics from Brigham Young University in 2017.
