The NSF-Simons National Institute for Theory and Mathematics is excited to welcome the Institute's second cohort of NITMB Fellows starting in Summer 2025. NITMB Fellows develop and conduct independent research programs aligned with the Institute's interest in constraints and the capabilities of living systems under the mentorship of NITMB leaders.
Ratul Biswas
Ratul Biswas is a graduate student in Mathematics at the University of Minnesota, working under the supervision of Wei-Kuo Chen and Arnab Sen. His research interests lie in probability theory, particularly in exploring problems at the intersection of statistics, physics, biology, and computer science. As a prospective postdoctoral fellow at NITMB, he aims to pursue research on spin glasses, drawing inspiration from statistical physics to develop a rigorous understanding of complex biological phenomena—such as biomolecular folding, the adaptability of neural networks, and the self-organization of individuals into communities. He will join NITMB in Summer 2025.
