Ed Perkins

Edwin Arend Perkins ( born August 31, 1953) is a Canadian mathematician who deals with probability theory.

Perkins graduated from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor 's degree in 1975 and in 1979 received his doctorate at the University of Illinois at Urbana -Champaign with Frank Bardsley Knight (A non-standard approach to Brownian local time). He is at the University of British Columbia, since 2001 on a Canada Research Chair in probability theory since 1982 Assistant Professor and since 1989 professor.

He was a visiting professor at the University of Strasbourg (1984 ) and 2001 at the University of Wisconsin and also a visiting scientist at the University of Cambridge.

With Martin T. Barlow, he studied in the 1980s diffusion on the Sierpinski carpet.

He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (1988 ) and the Royal Society (2007). In 2003 he received the CRM -Fields - PIMS Prize, and the 1986 Coxeter - James Prize. In 1983 he was awarded the Rollo Davidson Prize, the 2002 Jeffery -Williams Prize and the 1996 G. de B. Robinson Award ( with Steven N. Evans ). In 2003 he became a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and 2003 of the Fields Institute. 2007 to 2009 he was Killam Fellow and 1992-1994 Steacie Fellow.

In 1994 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich (measure valued branching diffusion and interactions ).
