Tianyi Zheng
Tianyi Zheng is a Chinese-American mathematician specializing in geometric group theory and probability theory, including the theory of random walks and harmonic functions on groups.[1] She is a professor of mathematics at the University of California, San Diego.[2]
Education and career
[edit]Zheng was an undergraduate mathematics student at Tsinghua University, graduating in 2008.[3] She completed a Ph.D. in 2013 at Cornell University, with the dissertation Random Walks On Some Classes Of Solvable Groups advised by Laurent Saloff-Coste.[3][4]
She became a postdoctoral Szegő Assistant Professor at Stanford University from 2013 to 2016 before obtaining a regular-rank faculty position as assistant professor at the University of California, San Diego in 2016.[1][3]
Recognition
[edit]Zheng was named a Sloan Research Fellow in 2019.[1] She was an invited speaker in mathematical analysis at the 2022 (virtual) International Congress of Mathematicians.[5]
In 2024, she was a recipient of the Rollo Davidson Prize, given "for her deep results and resolution of long-standing conjectures on random walks on groups".[6]
