Events
- Probability seminar at the University of Innsbruck
We have a weekly probability seminar organized by Alexander Glazman and myself. If you want to give a talk or if you are interested in visiting our research group, let us know! - June 2-7, 2024: I have co-organized the conference on Groups, languages, and random walks in Cortona (Italy). The programme and titles with abstracts of the talks can be downloaded here.
- Austrian Stochastics Days 2024, University of Innsbruck, Austria; September 4-6, 2024.
About me
I am in charge of the outreach programme of the Institute of Mathematics at the University of Innsbruck. We have several outreach events for schools and pupils such as: Tag der MIP, Girls' Day, Mathe auf Abruf, Mathe-Cool, Naboj. For more information, visit our outreach webpage, or send an email to mathe-events@uibk.ac.at
I am professor in mathematics at the University of Innsbruck (Austria), Department of Mathematics. Before that I was associate professor and tenure track assistant professor at the same department, and prior to that I was assistant professor (non tenure-track) at Graz University of Technology (Austria) and a visiting assistant professor at Cornell University, USA. I have obtained the Habilitation (venia docendi) in Mathematics at TU Graz (Austria) in February 2020, at the same university where I have received my PhD in December 2010, under the supervision of Wolfgang Woess.
Research grant Growth models and quasi-random walks, Austrian Science Foundation (FWF). Project number P 34129. Project members: Yuwen Wang (postdoc, previously Cornell University, USA), and Robin Kaiser (PhD student).
Research Interests
My research area is stochastics, or more precisely random walks. I am interested in the interplay between structural and geometrical properties of infinite state spaces (graphs, groups, fractals) and the behavior of walks (random walks, rotor walks, branching random walks) on these state spaces. I am also working on internal aggregation models (IDLA, rotor-router aggregation, sandpile models).

Bachelor and master Thesis
I am currently supervising Bachelor and master Theses in the area of stochastics and combinatorics at the University of Innsbruck. A list with possible topics is available below. This topics may give you an idea in which direction I do research. Concrete topics can be given only after a personal discussion.
