Benjamin Lundell
Benjamin Lundell is an Acting Assistant Professor and PIMS Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Mathematics. He was interested in mathematics and physics as a high school student, so when he arrived at the University of Illinois, he enrolled to study electrical engineering. He quickly realized that his main interest (and skill) lay in mathematics, so he changed his major and has not looked back since. After graduating with a BS from the University of Illinois, he obtained a Certificate of Advanced Study from the University of Cambridge and a PhD from Cornell University. In his free time, he enjoys running, hiking, playing guitar, and using mathematics to predict the outcome of sporting events.
