Ivan Zachary Corwin (born May 24, 1984) is a professor of mathematics at Columbia University.

Research

His research concerns probability, mathematical physics, quantum integrable systems, stochastic PDEs, and random matrix theory. He is particularly known for work related to the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang equation.

Education and career

Corwin was born in Poughkeepsie, New York. He graduated from Harvard University in 2006 receiving an A.B. in Mathematics, and subsequently received his Ph.D. from the Courant Institute at New York University under direction of Gerard Ben Arous. He held the first Schramm Memorial Postdoctoral Fellowship at Microsoft Research, New England and MIT from 2012–2014, was a
