Khanin is a scholar known for work at the intersection of mathematics, statistical mechanics, dynamical systems, and probability theory. His research connects topics ranging from ergodic theory and Hamiltonian systems to applied problems in meteorology and financial mathematics. Colleagues have situated his contributions alongside developments in Kolmogorov-type theories, the study of stochastic processes, and advances in rigorous aspects of turbulence and random media.
Khanin was born in the mid-20th century and trained within academic traditions influenced by institutions such as Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University, Cambridge University, and Princeton University. Early influences included figures associated with the Hilbert problems era and thinkers linked to Andrey Kolmogorov, Ilya Prigogine, and contemporaries from the Soviet Union mathematical schools. He participated in conferences alongside researchers from Institute for Advanced Study, École Normale Supérieure, University of California, Berkeley, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His career intersected institutional networks like Royal Society, National Academy of Sciences (United States), and pan-European centers such as Max Planck Society and CNRS.
Khanin held appointments and visiting positions at several universities and research centers including places comparable to Harvard University, Stanford University, University of Oxford, and national laboratories analogous to Los Alamos National Laboratory. He collaborated with scholars affiliated with Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and European hubs like CERN in interdisciplinary projects. His teaching and mentorship connected him with doctoral students who later joined faculties at institutions such as Yale University, Columbia University, ETH Zurich, and University of Tokyo. Khanin served on editorial boards of journals resembling Communications in Mathematical Physics, Annals of Probability, Inventiones Mathematicae, and participated in program committees for meetings like International Congress of Mathematicians, Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications, and thematic schools at Institut Henri Poincaré.
Khanin's major contributions addressed rigorous aspects of random dynamical systems, including existence and uniqueness results for invariant measures akin to work in ergodic theory and the theory of SRB measures. He developed methods that bridged techniques from Hamilton–Jacobi equations and viscosity solutions with probabilistic large-deviation frameworks inspired by Freidlin–Wentzell theory. His approach influenced analysis of one-dimensional and multi-dimensional models related to Burgers equation, Navier–Stokes equations in simplified settings, and scaling limits reminiscent of KPZ universality class studies. He proposed frameworks for understanding shock formation and statistical steady states in randomly forced systems, connecting to research on stochastic partial differential equations, Ito calculus, and Martingale problems.
Khanin also contributed to the mathematical theory of percolation and random matrices, applying spectral methods associated with Wigner matrices and resolvent techniques parallel to work by researchers at Courant Institute and Rutgers University. His interdisciplinary projects explored applications to climate modeling and signal processing by employing multiscale analysis comparable to methods used in renormalization group studies at Princeton University and University of Chicago centers. He engaged with problems related to optimal transport theory and connections to Monge–Kantorovich problem, bringing tools from variational principles and convex analysis seen in literature by authors affiliated with ETH Zurich and Université Paris-Dauphine.
