Ofer Zeitouni
Ofer Zeitouni (born October 23, 1960 in Haifa ) is an Israeli-American mathematician who deals with probability theory.
Life
Zeitouni studied electrical engineering at the Technion with a bachelor's degree summa cum laude in 1980 and he received his doctorate in electrical engineering under Moshe Zakai at the Technion in 1986 (Bounds on the Conditional Density and Maximum a posteriori Estimators for the Nonlinear Filtering Problem) As a post-doctoral student he was visiting Assistant Professor at Brown University and the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems at MIT. He taught at the Technion (from 1989 as Senior Lecturer, 1991 Associate Professor and 1997 Professor in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, from 1999 also in the Mathematics Faculty), at the University of Minnesota-Minneapolis and is Professor at the Weizmann Institute and Global Distinguished Professor at the Courant Institute .
He deals with stochastic processes and filter theory with applications in communication and control theory (electrical engineering), theory of large deviations in probability theory and spectral theory of random matrices .
He was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing 2002 (Random Walks in Random Environments). Zeitouni is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society and has been a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences since 2019, and of the National Academy of Sciences since 2020 .
He is married and has two children.
