Theo McKenzie

Faculty hosts: Amir Dembo and Sourav Chatterjee

Theo McKenzie earned a doctorate in mathematics in 2022 from UC-Berkeley, where he studied probability and spectral theory with applications in the fields of statistical physics and computer science. As an SSF, he is building on his previous work investigating the structure of eigenvectors of linear operators on graphs for both deterministic and random models. His goal is to advance research in quantum chaos and probability theory. McKenzie has been the lead instructor of for-credit mathematics classes for incarcerated students in California and Massachusetts and has continued this work at Stanford.
