معرفی
Robin Pemantle is a Professor of Mathematics and affiliated with the Computer and Information Science department at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Engineering and Applied Science. He holds primary appointment in the Department of Mathematics. His research spans probability theory, analytic combinatorics, stochastic processes, and mathematics education. He co-authored influential works such as There is No One Way to Teach Math (2024) and Analytic Combinatorics in Several Variables (2024), emphasizing active learning strategies and combinatorial methodologies.
Research interests include asymptotic analysis of generating functions, percolation theory, and applications of probability to biology and networks. He has advised over 20 PhD and Master's students, focusing on topics like random walks, combinatorial models, and education technology. Pemantle leads initiatives like the Penn Calculus Project, redesigning calculus curricula with active learning principles.
His work bridges pure and applied mathematics, with contributions to statistical physics (e.g., Ising models) and theoretical computer science. Notable recent studies address invasion percolation on trees, trace reconstruction algorithms, and aggregation methods for probabilistic forecasts.
