Ahmad Barhoumi is an analyst whose work sits at the intersection of approximation theory, mathematical physics, and integrable systems. Much of his research involves understanding the fine asymptotic behavior of special functions and its consequences in those areas. 

 

Before coming to ΢ÃÜÆƽâ, Ahmad was a postdoc at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm working with Maurice Duits. There, he became interested in tiling models and, more broadly, the area of integrable probability. Before that, he was a postdoc at the University of Michigan working with Peter Miller, where he studied solutions to certain non-linear ODEs known as Painlevé equations. He received his PhD from Purdue University in 2020, advised by Maxim Yattselev, where his work revolved around certain rational functions known as Padé approximants. 

 

Outside of math, Ahmad enjoys most sports, interacting with animals, reading (mostly books and manga, probably too much news), and playing video games.
