معرفی
Zachary W Bezemek serves as the Phillip Griffiths Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Duke University's Trinity College of Arts & Sciences, a position he has held since 2023. His research focuses on probability theory and stochastic processes with applications to multiscale systems and interacting particle models.
Education:
- Ph.D. from Boston University (2023)
Research Interests:
Dr. Bezemek specializes in probability theory with a focus on large deviations, homogenization, and interacting particle systems. His work investigates multiscale stochastic phenomena, particularly examining the behavior of weakly interacting diffusion processes in complex environments. His research bridges theoretical probability with applications in statistical mechanics and mathematical physics, developing rigorous mathematical frameworks to understand complex stochastic systems with multiple time or spatial scales. His recent work has explored connections between these mathematical theories and modern machine learning approaches, particularly diffusion models.
Professional Activities:
Dr. Bezemek has delivered numerous invited talks at prestigious institutions including Duke University, KTH, USC, CMU, and TU Berlin. He has organized graduate student workshops at Boston University, demonstrating his commitment to academic community building. His presentations focus on scaling limits of interacting particle systems, large deviations principles, and homogenization theory.
Teaching:
Dr. Bezemek teaches across Duke's mathematics curriculum, offering courses including Probability (MATH 230/STA 230), Advanced Introduction to Probability (MATH 340/STA 231), Real Analysis (MATH 431/731), and Applied Stochastic Processes (MATH 541/STA 621) for both undergraduate and graduate students. His office hours are held Tuesdays 2:30-4 and Thursdays 10:30-12 in Physics 045.
