Jaime San Martín es doctor en Estadística por la Universidad de Purdue, EE. UU. (1990) e ingeniero civil matemático por la Universidad de Chile (1985), de la que actualmente es profesor titular en el Departamento de Ingeniería Matemática. Es asimismo investigador asociado en el Centro de Modelamiento Matemático (CMM) y director científico del Laboratorio Nacional de Computación de Alto Rendimiento (NLHPC).
Su área principal de investigación está en la teoría de la probabilidad. Más concretamente, en el cálculo estocástico, el movimiento browniano, la teoría del potencial y las distribuciones cuasi estacionarias. También trabaja en el análisis matricial y sus conexiones con la probabilidad. En cuanto a las aplicaciones, sus intereses se centran principalmente en los modelos matemáticos en astronomía.

Autor del libro "Teoría de la medida" (Editorial Universitaria, 2018).
