Adrian Gonzalez Casanova

Adrian Gonzalez Casanova is an Associate Professor at the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, Arizona State University. He is affiliated with the Biodesign Center for Mechanisms of Evolution and serves as an Associate Editor at ALEA. His research bridges Probability Theory and Theoretical Biology, focusing on stochastic processes, interacting particle systems, and evolutionary modeling.

• Education: PhD from Technische Universität Berlin
• Previous Positions: Postdoctoral Fellow at Weierstrass Institute, Assistant/Associate Professor at UNAM, Neyman Visiting Assistant Professor at UC Berkeley

His research explores interacting particle systems (e.g., Simple Exclusion Process), seed-bank models (stochastic delay differential equations), coalescent processes, and applications in experimental evolution, antibiotic resistance, and public health. Recent work includes modeling biological latency, stochastic duality, and branching processes.

His publications span top journals in probability and theoretical biology, with a focus on multiscale phenomena and evolutionary dynamics. Key trends include integrating mathematical rigor with biological realism, such as using seed-bank models to study bacterial dormancy and coalescent theory for population genetics.

• Scientific Awards: Itô Prize (2017), Feldman Prize (2022)
• Editorships: Associate Editor at ALEA
• Memberships: Latin American Academy of Sciences, long-term scientific committee of the Seminar on Stochastic Processes

He advises current and former students/postdocs like Johny Yang, Esteban Vargas, Lizbeth Peñaloza, and Nils Hansen. His work has been supported by collaborations with institutions in Mexico, the US, and Europe.
