Alex Olhava

I’m a mathematics PhD student at Northwestern University working in probability theory.

Research interests

I am broadly interested in probability and statistics of high dimensional systems (spin models, random matrices, random graphs) and applications towards machine learning. As an undergraduate, I worked on random matrix theory under Vadim Gorin at UC Berkeley. Recently, I have also been interested in mechanistic interpretability of LMs.

A few personal facts

I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, sailing, and recently bird watching. At one point I could read latin, but now I only am only literate in english. Occasionally I write poetry which I may infrequently post.
