Research interests

My research interests lie in the modelling and analysis of systems of many interacting random components that are spatially embedded. Those systems describe phenomena from physics, like liquid-vapour phase transitions, spatial epidemiology of communicable diseases, or peer-to-peer telecommunication in an urban environment. The goal is to derive and describe macroscopic states from highly complex microscopic system configurations. For this I use mathematical tools from statistical mechanics such as large-deviation theory and stochastic geometry to establish rigorous results. My work is sometimes supported by the comparison with real-world data and by computer simulations. It is presented to an international mathematical audience and researchers from related fields like engineering, life science and materials science.
