Brandon Legried

I am a postdoc in the School of Mathematics at the Georgia Institute of Technology, working with Christine Heitsch and Annalise Paaby. My interests are in probability, applied mathematics, mathematical statistics, and theoretical computer science. I focus on applications in computational biology and genetics. Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Statistics at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. I earned a PhD in Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Sebastien Roch. Before that, I earned undergraduate degrees in Mathematics and Finance at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. A copy of my CV is here. Details can be found on the other pages of this website.

To reach out to me, you can find my email in the directory at math.gatech.edu.
