Ryan S. Brill

University of Pennsylvania

I am a first year PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania in the Applied Mathematics & Computational Science group with a Benjamin Franklin Fellowship. My favorite subjects are probability and statistics.

For my undergraduate studies, I attended the University of California, Berkeley, where I double majored in Mathematics and Statistics, and minored in Computer Science. At Berkeley, I was a Regents’ and Chancellor’s Scholar.

Please enjoy this picture of me at a Husky Cafe in Bangkok, Thailand.

Math

For my undergraduate senior thesis, I pursued a continuation of Learning Heuristics for Automated Reasoning through Deep Reinforcement Learning. I explored using a Graph Neural Network as a branching heuristic in Conflict Driven Clause Learning for SAT solving.
As a sophomore interning at a valuation firm in the securities valuation group, I wrote about the derivation of the Black-Scholes Formula.
I love betting on football and basketball games, and I like to see how probability appears in sports betting, so I wrote Betting and Basic Probability and Moneylines and Implied Win Probability.
