معرفی
Gourab Ray is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Victoria, Faculty of Science. He holds a PhD from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. His research focuses on the intersection of probability theory, geometry, and mathematical physics, particularly large-scale patterns in stochastic models inspired by physics. Key areas include random planar maps, random walks, lattice spin models, dimer models, Gaussian free field properties, and Liouville quantum gravity. Recent work emphasizes establishing Gaussian free field-like behaviors in dimer models across various graphs and surfaces.
He teaches courses such as MATH 236: Introduction to Real Analysis and MATH 555: Topics in Probability. His publications span leading journals including Inventiones Mathematicae, Annals of Probability, and Probability Theory and Related Fields. Notable contributions include studies on unimodular hyperbolic triangulations, half-planar map classifications, and conformal invariance in dimer models.
No specific awards are listed for Dr. Ray, though his work has been recognized in peer-reviewed venues. He actively contributes to academic service, including roles on graduate committees and research collaborations. His research group engages with theoretical and applied aspects of probability theory, often bridging discrete and continuous mathematical frameworks.
