Hi! My name is Ran Tao (陶然). I am a final-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park. I’m fortunate to be advised by Yu Gu. Before that, I got my B.S. degree from the School of Mathematical Sciences at Fudan University in 2019.
My research focuses on probability and stochastic analysis, with their applications to statistical physics. I work on topics including stochastic partial differential equations, interacting particle systems, and Malliavin calculus.
I am on the 2024-2025 postdoc job market! Here is a copy of my CV.
Preprints and Publications:
