Research

The group is interested in  questions of universality in stochastics, for example  why do the same distributions appear in very different contexts, such as random matrices and random growth models? These questions are related to combinatorics, mathematical physics, as well as numerics and algebra.  I am equally interested in the mixing behavior of Markov chains, in particular the cutoff phenomenon.

Teaching

Our group covers the entire spectrum of probability, from beginner's classes to highly specialized courses on card shuffling, integrable probability or percolation models. All our classes are announced on PULS!
