Stanislav A. Molchanov

Stanislav A. Molchanov is a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He previously held academic positions at Moscow State University (MSU) from 1966 to 1998, including Assistant Professor (1966-1971), Associate Professor (1971-1998), and Full Professor (1988-1998). He has also served as a Visiting Professor at institutions such as the University of California, Irvine; University of Southern California; EPFL (Switzerland); and Ruhr University (Germany), among others.

• Ph.D. in Mathematics (Candidate of Sciences, 1967) from MSU
• Doctor of Sciences (1983) from MSU

His research focuses on probabilistic and spectral theories, particularly diffusion processes on Riemannian manifolds, localization in random media, and wave processes in disordered structures. He has applied these theories to geophysics, astrophysics, oceanography, optics, population dynamics, and biochemistry. His work includes collaborations with institutions like the Isaac Newton Institute and the International Laboratory of Stochastic Analysis at the Higher School of Economics in Russia.

Molchanov has participated in numerous international visiting fellowships and summer schools, including extended engagements at the University of Bielefeld (Germany) and Cambridge University (UK). Notably, he has been a key advisor for the International Laboratory of Stochastic Analysis since 2015.
