Nawaf Bou-Rabee

Professor

I am a Professor of Mathematics at Rutgers University–Camden and a Visiting Scholar at the Center for Computational Mathematics at the Flatiron Institute. My research focuses on theoretical and computational probability, with an emphasis on Markov chain mixing times and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. From 2019 to 2021, I was a Visiting Professor in Probability Theory and Stochastic Analysis at Bonn University. I earned my PhD in Applied and Computational Mathematics from Caltech before holding an NSF Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship and a Courant Instructorship at NYU. My work has been supported by multiple NSF grants, and I’ve been fortunate to receive the Rutgers–Camden Chancellor’s Award for Outstanding Research and a Humboldt Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers.

Below are some selected publications. For a complete list, you can check out my Google Scholar profile. I also engage in discussions on related mathematical topics on MathOverflow. If you’re interested, you can watch my recent talk on the reversibility and mixing time of the No-U-Turn Sampler.
