Life and career

Gamburd earned his B.S degree in mathematics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1990.[2] He received his M.A. (1998) and Ph.D. (1999) from Princeton University,[3] where his advisor was Peter Sarnak. In 2004, Gamburd became assistant professor of mathematics at the University of California, Santa Cruz and was promoted to full professor in 2008.[2] He was a visiting scholar at the Institute of Advanced Studies from 2005 to 2006 and from 2007 to 2008.[4] In 2011, Gamburd joined the faculty of the CUNY Graduate Center, City University of New York as Presidential Professor of Mathematics.[1]

Selected publications
gollark: So separate the authorities certifying that you're not an idiot and the ones teaching you to not be an idiot!
gollark: It would be good for students to have the *option* to study it if they prefer it over other stuff, certainly.
gollark: I think they could research it on their own if they cared much.
gollark: It is useful but only if you actually care about it enough to remember any.
gollark: Reading/writing/arithmetic *can* probably just be taught at home by computers though.
