Professor Louis-Pierre Arguin (Mathematics) has won a $278,839 grant from the National Science Foundation to study extreme value statistics in probabilistic number theory.
The funding will be disbursed from 2022 to 2024 and will support Arguin’s research, travel, and conference and workshop participation. The grant will also provide funding for two PhD students and two Baruch undergraduate research assistants. The undergrads will work on codes of numerical experiments.
Arguin is also on the faculty of the CUNY Graduate Center. He holds a PhD in math from Princeton and a master’s degree in physics from the University of Montreal, where he also earned a bachelor’s degree in math and physics. He serves as an associate editor on the editorial boards of Electronic Journal of Probability and Electronic Communications in Probability.
His research interests are number theory, probability, and statistical mechanics. He recently published a textbook, A First Course in Stochastic Calculus, and he is the recipient of the André Aisenstadt Prize for outstanding research achievement by a young Canadian mathematician.
