Byron Chin

Hi! I am a fourth year Ph.D. student at MIT advised by Elchanan Mossel. Previously, I was an undergraduate at Princeton. My interests lie within probability and combinatorics. I am supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

I can be reached at byronc (at) mit (dot) edu.

The full list of my work can be found in the Research tab.
