Teaching

In Fall 2021, I will be teaching Math 180A Introduction to Probability Theory at University of California, San Diego. I am available and currently working with graduate and undergraduate students on reading courses and research projects.

Reading groups

I am helping to organize the following reading groups for graduate students. If you are interested in joining, please email me at djekel@ucsd.edu.

  • Free probability
  • Von Neumann algebras and deformation/rigidity
  • Non-commutative analytic functions and rational functions
