Graham Cole serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, specializing in the intersection of partial differential equations and probability theory. He completed his PhD at Stanford University in 2021 under Lenya Ryzhik and previously held a Prager Assistant Professorship and NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship at Brown University from 2021 to 2024.
Education:
- PhD in Mathematics, Stanford University (2021), Advisor: Lenya Ryzhik
His research centers on partial differential equations and probability, with concentrated expertise in reaction-diffusion systems, branching processes, stochastic PDEs, and viscous conservation laws. He extends these methodologies to climate change applications, investigating agricultural climate impacts and carbon dioxide removal strategies through rigorous mathematical modeling. This dual focus bridges theoretical analysis with urgent environmental challenges.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2020-2025) reveals dominant themes in reaction-diffusion equations and stochastic conservation laws, particularly examining traveling waves, steady states, and stochastic heat equation fluctuations. His work frequently addresses boundary value problems in half-spaces and unbounded domains, with significant contributions to uniqueness/multiplicity theorems and asymptotic behavior. Collaborations with leading mathematicians like Henri Berestycki and Alexander Dunlap appear consistently across high-impact journals including SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis and Journal of the European Mathematical Society.
Awards:
- Prager Assistant Professor
- NSF Postdoctoral Fellow
Dr. Cole has not publicly listed graduate students, but his postdoctoral research was supported by National Science Foundation funding. His current work continues to explore climate-mathematics interfaces while advancing fundamental theory in nonlinear PDEs and stochastic processes, with recent submissions indicating active investigation into elliptic problems and stochastic heat equations.
