Hello, and welcome. I am an assistant professor of mathematics at Case Western Reserve University. I'm also supported by the American Institute of Mathematics through the five-year fellowship program. Check out the picture of AIM's new math castle. I got my Ph.D. from the Department of Mathematics at Stanford University; my advisor was Persi Diaconis. Persi's fun; you should talk to him sometime. My research is in probability and analysis. I tend to be most interested in situations in which probability arises naturally in other fields, e.g. differential geometry, convex geometry, and number theory. My main technical tool is Stein's method of exchangeable pairs and its variants; I'm also interested in the continuing development of the method.
By the way, in case you've tried to look up Elizabeth Elder, that used to be my name (hence the email address).
