Dr. Francesco Cellarosi

Biography

Francesco Cellarosi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Queen's University. He holds a Ph.D. from Princeton University and an M.Sc. from Princeton University, along with a Laurea Magistrale from the University of Bologna. His research focuses on the intersection dynamics between various mathematical fields, particularly in probability theory, ergodic theory, number theory, and mathematical physics. His work aims to investigate how classical objects in number theory can be viewed through a probabilistic lens. He employs methods from dynamical systems—such as spectral theory and ergodic group actions—to study flows in homogeneous spaces, thereby integrating classical analytic techniques with modern probabilistic frameworks. A central theme of his research is to explore whether established results in probability theory are applicable to sequences originating from number theory, including their implications for quantum mechanics. Cellarosi's areas of interest include Jacobi theta functions, special functions of complex variables, heavy-tailed distributions, and hyperbolic geometry, among others.
