Jeremy Daniel Quastel FRSC is a Canadian mathematician specializing in probability theory, stochastic processes, partial differential equations. He is currently head of the mathematics department at the University of Toronto.[1] He grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia, and now lives in Toronto, Ontario.
Career[]
Quastel earned his PhD at Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University in 1990; the advisory was S. R. Srinivasa Varadhan. He was a postdoctoral student at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, then a faculty member at University of California, Davis for the next six years;[2] returned to Canada in 1998.[3]
Research[]
Jeremy Quastel is recognized as one of the top probabilists in the world in the fields of hydrodynamic theory, stochastic partial differential equations, and integrable probability.[2] In particular, his research is on the large scale behaviour of interacting particle systems and stochastic partial differential equations.[3]
