Kaiwen Zhang

I am a second year PhD candidate in mathematics at the Courant Institute of New York University. My advisor is Professor Jonathan Weare. I am interested in stochastic analysis and probability, specifically analyzing Markov chain Monte Carlo methods.

I received my B.S. in Applied Mathematics at Columbia University School of Engineering (summa cum laude). My favorite Columbia CC books are the Structures of Scientific Revolution, Discourses on Livy, and Leisure, the Basis of Culture. In my free time, I enjoy tennis, volleyball, and classical music. Karaoke and fruit desserts have been my favorite ways to relax after work.

Here is my CV.
