Richard Timothy Durrett is an American mathematician known for his research and
books on mathematical probability theory, stochastic processes and their
application to mathematical ecology and population genetics.




Education and career


He received his BS and MS at Emory University in 1972 and 1973 and his Ph.D. at Stanford University in 1976 under advisor Donald
Iglehart. From 1976 to 1985 he taught at UCLA. From 1985 until 2010 was on the faculty at Cornell University, where his students included Claudia Neuhauser. Since 2010, Durrett has been a professor at Duke University.
He was elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences in 2007. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
Durrett is the founder of the Cornell Probability Summer Schools.
