Hoi Nguyen

Hoi Nguyen is a Professor of Mathematics at The Ohio State University (OSU), specializing in Combinatorics, Probability, and Random Matrices. His research explores areas such as inverse Littlewood-Offord problems, random matrix universality, and stochastic processes. He holds a PhD from Rutgers University (2010) and has held postdoctoral positions at the University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, and the Institute for Advanced Study. His work is supported by NSF grants and a Simons Foundation Fellowship. Recent projects include studies on random matrix cokernels, eigenvalue gaps, and trigonometric polynomials' real roots. He teaches graduate courses in Probability and Combinatorics at OSU.

Education: PhD in Mathematics, Rutgers University, 2010.

Research interests focus on probabilistic combinatorics, random matrix theory, and stochastic models. Key themes include universality phenomena in random structures, anti-concentration inequalities, and applications to algebraic problems. His work bridges combinatorial methods with probabilistic analysis, addressing foundational questions in matrix theory and polynomial root distribution.

Grants include NSF CAREER Award (2018-2024) and Simons Fellowship (2023-2024). His recent articles investigate universality in random matrix cokernels, rank fluctuations in matrix products, and exponential concentration in root counts. He organizes workshops on random polynomials and matrices, reflecting his leadership in these fields.
