My name is Andy Heeszel, and I am joining as a Arthur J. Krener Math Fellow. I previously graduated with my PhD in Statistics from Ohio State in May 2026. My primary research interests are in applied probability and interacting particle systems. I have most recently been interested in stochastic epidemic models that do not have the attractiveness property and studying the outbreak size and speed of the outbreak. I also enjoy playing disc golf, watching football, running, and cooking.

Kiseok Yeon joined UC Davis as a Krener Assistant Professor this Fall quarter. His main research interest lies on analytic number theory (especially the Hardy-Littlewood method), theory of exponential sums and its applications, and analytic methods in connection with rational points on varieties. 

Aside from mathematics, he loves playing tennis and running. He would love to be contacted if Department members want to do exercise together – he loves all kind of exercises!
