Joseph Vandehey

Dr. Joseph Vandehey is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Texas at Tyler. His research focuses on number theory and ergodic theory, particularly expansions of numbers such as continued fractions and beta-expansions, with a specific interest in normal numbers and their digit distributions.

Education:

• Ph.D., Mathematics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013
• B.S., Mathematics, University of Oregon, 2008

Postdoctoral Experience:

• Zassenhaus Assistant Professor, The Ohio State University (2016–2019)
• Postdoctoral Research and Teaching Associate, University of Georgia (2013–2016)

Dr. Vandehey’s work explores the statistical properties of number expansions, aiming to uncover patterns such as the distribution of digits in irrational numbers like π. His research bridges theoretical mathematics with applications in dynamical systems and analytic methods.
