Ugur Alparslan
Assistant Professor
Mathematics / Statistics
- After getting his PhD from Cornell University in 2006, Tuncay Alparslan served as an Assistant Professor at University of Nevada, Reno until he joined the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at AU in 2009. His primary research interests are in probability theory and stochastic processes with an emphasis on extreme event modeling in the areas of actuarial and financial mathematics, mathematical biology, and environmental sciences via heavy tailed stable distributions. He is also passionate about food and considers himself an almost-epicurean.
