Dr. Edwin Perkins

Edwin Perkins has produced powerful and insightful work on a range of subjects at the heart of modern probability theory. He is perhaps best known for his early use of non-standard analysis to prove theorems which had defied more conventional techniques. This has led to a wide interest in the subject among probabilists. He has discovered results of outstanding depth and delicacy which show underlying regularity in the seemingly irregular behaviour of Brownian motion. His recent work on measure-valued diffusions gives us a deeper understanding of these complex processes than we could have hoped for only a year ago.
These and other striking accomplishments have made him a recognized leader in his field.
