Research summary

Boris Pittel works in probability theory and combinatorics, focusing on the mathematical analysis of random structures such as random trees, random permutations, random matchings, and random graphs. Much of the work develops precise probabilistic estimates and asymptotic formulas describing how these structures behave as they grow large, including applications to stable matching problems (like matching preferences between two groups) and voting theory. This research is theoretical, aimed at proving rigorous mathematical results about randomness in discrete structures.

Publication output has declined somewhat from about 7-8 papers per year a decade ago to roughly 3 per year in recent years, though 2025 shows an uptick.
