American mathematician
Maury Daniel Bramson (born 1951 in New York City) is an American mathematician, specializing in probability theory and mathematical statistics.
Education and career
Bramson grew up in the Los Angeles area and graduated with a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the
University of California, Berkeley after having also attended the
University of California, San Diego and having participated in the University of California's Education Abroad Program at the
University of Göttingen . He graduated with a master's degree in statistics from
Stanford University .
[1] In 1977 he received his PhD from
Cornell University with thesis Maximal Displacement of Branching Brownian Motion under the supervision of
Harry Kesten .
[2] Bramson was an instructor at the
Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences . He was a member of the mathematical faculties of the
University of Wisconsin–Madison and the
University of California, Davis before becoming a professor at the
University of Minnesota .
[1] He was at the
Institute for Advanced Study for the academic year 1995–1996.
[3]
Bramson's research deals with models of
interacting particle systems ,
stochastic networks , and
branching processes . The models are motivated by physical and biological science, engineering, and computer science.
[1]
Bramson was an Invited Speaker at the
International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin in 1998.
[4] He was elected a Fellow of the
American Mathematical Society in the class of 2015 for "contributions to stochastic processes and their applications."
[5] He was elected a member of the
National Academy of Sciences in 2017. He is also a Fellow of the
Institute of Mathematical Statistics .
