J. E. Paguyo

Welcome! I am a Britton Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at McMaster University. My postdoc mentor is Shui Feng. 


Previously, I obtained my PhD in mathematics from the University of Southern California in sunny Los Angeles, under the supervision of Jason Fulman. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area & received my BS in mathematics from the University of California, Davis.


My research interests lie in the intersection of probability & combinatorics. I am a proud West Coast Coin Flipper. My Erdös number is 3. Here is my CV.


With Doug Rizzolo & Erik Slivken, I am co-organizing Coinflippers 2024, the 1st annual meeting of the West Coast Coin Flippers, on August 1-2 at University of Delware. Here is the registration form. Let us know if you can make it!

My pronouns are he/him.

You can usually find me in my office at Hamilton Hall 311. Feel free to stop by & chat; bring a cup for coffee!
