Hello! My name is Akshat Agarwal. I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Mathematics at MIT. I graduated from Princeton University with my A.B. in mathematics, summa cum laude, in 2026. My research interests lie in probability theory, stochastic processes, and their applications.

I wrote my undergraduate senior thesis about random regular graphs under the supervision of Ramon van Handel. Previously, I studied Markov chain Monte Carlo with Gautam Iyer, Banach space geometry with Assaf Naor, nonlinear Schrödinger equations with Bjoern Bringmann, and kernel methods for variational inference at Vertaix.

I was also the president of Business Today, a non-profit organization connecting today’s leaders with tomorrow’s.
