MATH-332: Markov chainsThe course follows the text of Norris and the polycopie (which will be distributed chapter by chapter).
MATH-519: Topics in high-dimensional probabilityThis is a theoretical course about probability in high dimensions. We will look at some mathematical phenomena appearing as the number of random variables grows large - e.g. concentration of measure o
ME-469: Nano-scale heat transferIn this course we study heat transfer (and energy conversion) from a microscopic perspective. First we focus on understanding why classical laws (i.e. Fourier Law) are what they are and what are their
PHYS-435: Statistical physics IIIThis course introduces statistical field theory, and uses concepts related to phase transitions to discuss a variety of complex systems (random walks and polymers, disordered systems, combinatorial o
