Huy Tuan Pham

Huy Tuan Pham earned a doctorate in mathematics from Stanford and was named a Clay Research Fellow in 2023.  His research focuses on combinatorics and probability, in particular the analysis of large networks and random networks. His work has applications in fields such as number theory, theoretical computer science, and machine learning. Among his research contributions to different areas in combinatorics and probability, he has proved the Kahn-Kalai conjecture on thresholds and Talagrand’s conjectures on suprema of selector and empirical processes. Pham worked with SSF faculty host Jacob Fox, as well as other faculty members in related areas, to further his research. He also hopes to help disadvantaged students from developing countries on their paths to pursuing research in mathematics. Pham was a scholar at the Institute for Advanced Studies before joining the faculty of CalTech as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy.
