Professor Beveridge is a theoretical mathematician whose research interests lie in the intersection of discrete mathematics and probability. His current area of research includes graph theory, probability and random processes. He studies random walks on finite graphs, which model connections that might be found in computer networks, the world wide web, genetics, and include the logical connections in the economics of game theory. Prior to coming to Macalester, Beveridge was at the Department of Mathematical Science at Carnegie Mellon University and at the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications at the University of Minnesota. Following graduate school, he also worked for several years as a database architect for the Stanford University School of Medicine. EDUCATION: B.A., Williams College Ph.D., Yale University
