Student Probability Seminar

This semester, Spring 2025, the Student Probability Seminar meets on Mondays from 11:00 AM--12:15 PM in WWH 1314.

All students and postdocs are welcome. Each week, someone chooses and presents a topic at an introductory level. Anyone is welcome and encouraged to speak, regardless of their background in probability. If you wish to speak, please contact Douglas Dow at dd3103 [at] nyu.edu, Yujin Kim at yujin.kim [at] courant.nyu.edu, Santi Aranguri at sa7270 [at] nyu.edu, Jacob Shkrob at jas10184 [at] nyu.edu, Zhenfeng Tu at zt2255 [at] nyu.edu, or Edward Zeng at ewz2008 [at] nyu.edu.
