I am a fifth-year PhD student at Courant Institute, NYU. My research interest lies in fields related to probability. I co-organize the Student Probability Seminar at Courant.

My primary advisor is Yuri Bakhtin and my secondary advisor is Jean-Christophe Mourrat.

You can email me via hongbin.chen (at) nyu.edu. My teaching experience, talks given and other information can be found in my CV.

I will be a postdoc at IHES in September, 2022.
