Jeremy Daniel Quastel FRS, FRSC is a Canadian mathematician specializing in probability theory, stochastic processes, partial differential equations. He served as head of the mathematics department at the University of Toronto from 2017 until 2021.[1] He grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia, and now lives in Toronto, Ontario.
Career
[edit]Quastel earned his PhD at Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University in 1990; the advisory was S. R. Srinivasa Varadhan. He was a postdoctoral student at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, then a faculty member at University of California, Davis for the next six years;[2] returned to Canada in 1998.[3]
Research
[edit]Jeremy Quastel is recognized as one of the top probabilists in the world in the fields of hydrodynamic theory, stochastic partial differential equations, and integrable probability.[2] In particular, his research is on the large scale behaviour of interacting particle systems and stochastic partial differential equations.[3] Together with Konstantin Matetski and Daniel Remenik, Quastel gave an exact formulation of the KPZ fixed point in terms of its transition probabilities.[4]
