Research Interests: Applied probability theory, stochastic processes and complex systems, statistical mechanics

• Stochastic particle systems
  theory and applications in complex systems such as population dynamics, genetic evolution, traffic modeling
• Nonequilibrium phase transitions
  equivalence of ensembles and connections to relative entropy and large deviations
• Scaling limits
  derivation of the large scale dynamics or the critical behaviour of stochastic particle systems

Teaching Responsibilities 2011/12:
