Alexey Bufetov

Alexey Bufetov is a Professor at Leipzig University, holding an ERC Starting Grant for his research in Integrable Probability (2022-2027). Previously, he served as a W2-Professor ("Bonn Junior Fellow") at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (2018-2021) and as a CLE Moore Instructor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2015-2018).

His research centers on Probability Theory, with deep connections to Mathematical Physics and Combinatorics. Key areas include integrable probability, stochastic particle systems (ASEP/TASEP), random tilings, Schur generating functions, and representation-theoretic aspects of probability. His work often bridges abstract mathematical structures with physical models from statistical mechanics.

Bufetov's recent publications reveal a strong focus on integrable systems and asymptotic analysis, particularly exploring connections between Mallows measures, vertex models, and random matrix theory. His 2025 work on Aztec diamond domino tilings exemplifies his signature approach combining combinatorial structures with probabilistic methods.

His primary recognition is the ERC Starting Grant "Integrable Probability" (2022-2027), supporting his cutting-edge research program.

Bufetov has maintained a prolific collaborative network, frequently publishing with leading researchers including Alexei Borodin, Vadim Gorin, Leonid Petrov, and Kailun Chen. His work appears in top journals such as Advances in Mathematics, Duke Mathematical Journal, and Communications in Mathematical Physics.
