Research

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Berlin, in the researach group "Stochastic processes and their applications" (head: Prof. Dr. Jochen Blath), and junior faculty member of the Berlin Mathematical School. My research interests lie in the field of probability with applications to biology and physics. Research topics include random interface models, pinning, entropic repulsion, interacting particle systems, mathematical population biology, phase transitions, duality, branching annihilating random walk.
