Since January 2023, I am a Tenure-Track Juniorprofessor for probability theory at Potsdam University.
I'm 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.
