Professor Leder joined the University of Minnesota in 2011. Prior to that he was a post-doctoral research associate at the Harvard School of Public Health for two years with Franziska Michor, and a post-doctoral researcher at Columbia University for one year working with Jose Blanchet. He received his PhD in 2008 from Brown University in Applied Mathematics under the supervision of Paul Dupuis and Hui Wang. His initial research work was on simulation of rare events in queueing networks and random walks, but he has since worked extensively on mathematical modeling of cancer initiation and treatment.
