Igor Pak (Russian: Игорь Пак) (born 1971, Moscow, Soviet Union) is a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Los Angeles, working in combinatorics and discrete probability.
He formerly taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Minnesota, and he is best known for his bijective proof of the hook-length formula for the number of Young tableaux, and his work on random walks.
He was a keynote speaker alongside George Andrews and Doron Zeilberger at the 2006 Harvey Mudd College Mathematics Conference on Enumerative Combinatorics.
He was a PhD student of Persi Diaconis at Harvard University, where he received a doctorate in Mathematics in 1997, with a thesis titled Random Walks on Groups: Strong Uniform Time Approach.
He was a fellow at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute and a long-term visitor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
