- Probability seminar at the University of Innsbruck
We have a probability seminar organized by Alexander Glazman and myself. If you want to give a talk or want to visiting our research group, let us know! - Random walks: applications and interactions (research school), CIRM Marseille, France; January 19-23, 2026.
Outreach: I am in charge of the outreach programme at the Department of Mathematics, University of Innsbruck. We have several 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.
FWF Research Grant 2021-2025: Growth models and quasi-random walks, Austrian Science Foundation (FWF). Project number P 34129. Project members: Yuwen Wang (postdoc, previously Cornell University, USA), Robin Kaiser (PhD student), Nadia Fellin (intership).
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).

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 (most of them not available anymore) 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.
Winter term 2025/2026
- Stochastics 2 (lecture, 3h)
- Stochastics 2 (exercise class, 2h)
