Richard Timothy Durrett
James B. Duke Distinguished Professor of Mathematics

Current Research Interests

My favorite research topics are problems in probability that arise from questions in ecology, genetics, and cancer modeling. I also investigate processes taking place on complex networks (aka random graphs).
