Russell Lyons
Full Story
Mathematics Professor Russell Lyons, who holds the James H. Rudy Professorship, was named a 2021 Simons Fellow. The Simons Fellows program extends academic leaves from one term to a full year, enabling recipients to focus solely on research for the long periods often necessary for significant advances. He will study ways to use probability and limits of finite networks to study questions about the mysterious class of sofic groups.
