The Mathematical Institute of the university if Freiburg hosts my research group since 2008. On the one hand, we like to do interdisciplinary teaching and research more than some of our colleagues. On the other hand, we always come back to probability theory as my main focus of thought.
Research
My research follows three main goals:
- Probability theory is fundamental to various fields in the life sciences. Applications we work on include population genetics, forensic genetics and neuroscience.
- Describing stochastic processes as well as their convergence can be studied via (so-called) martingale problems. We aim at developing new convergence results using this technique.
- In recent years, mathematicians can formalize theorems at the forefront of research using the Lean Theorem prover. We aim at extending the probability section of the corresponding library.
Projects
- Together with Angelika Rohde and Sabine Lutz-Bonengel I am PI in a project on forensic genetics of the CRC Small Data.
- Currently, I am member of the directorate of the Freiburg Center of Data Analysis and Modeling (FDM).
- Currently, I am member of the directorate of the Freiburg Advanced Center of Education (FACE).
Research subjects
- Probabilistic modeling in the life sciences
