Akshat Agarwal
Ph.D. Student at the MIT Department of Mathematics.
Hello! My name is Akshat Agarwal. I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Mathematics at MIT. My research interests are in probability theory, statistics, and the mathematics of machine learning. I am supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and an Akamai Presidential Fellowship.
I graduated from Princeton University with my A.B. in mathematics, summa cum laude, in 2026. At Princeton, I worked on random regular graphs with Ramon van Handel, 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.
