Markos A. Katsoulakis

Markos A. Katsoulakis is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He holds a Ph.D. from Brown University (1993) and a B.Sc. from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (1987). His research focuses on Uncertainty Quantification, Stochastic Analysis, and Multi-scale Modeling, with applications in molecular systems, hybrid models, and computational physics. He has contributed to developing methods like Information-theoretic Sensitivity Analysis (ISAP) and hierarchical coarse-graining techniques. His work bridges theoretical mathematics with computational tools, addressing challenges in complex systems, rare event analysis, and machine learning integration.

Recent research emphasizes robustness in generative models, optimal transport divergences, and data-driven uncertainty quantification. He has taught courses such as STAT 515: Introduction to Statistics I and has been supported by grants from the Simons Foundation. His publications span topics including stochastic dynamics, variational representations, and graph-informed neural networks, reflecting his interdisciplinary approach to mathematical sciences.
