My research focuses on probability theory and its applications in physics and biology. A major topic I have been working on is the statistical mechanics of disordered systems, both from the equilibrium and the dynamical point of view. This requires in particular the analysis of the structure of the extreme values of the underlying random fields. The recent book [1] reviews a large body of work with various co-authors where we answered such questions in the context of certain Gaussian processes, in particular branching Brownian motion. A second topic is the theory of metastability, a common and important phenomenon occurring in non-linear stochastic dynamics. We developed a new approach to the analysis of metastability, the so-called potential theoretic approach. The theory and numerous applications are presented and summarised in a recent monograph with Frank den Hollander [2].
In the coming years I plan to shift the focus of my interest more on problems from the life
sciences. We have already started to work on a class of interacting spatial branching processes in inhomogeneous environments that are motivated by the biological theory of adaptive dynamics, that attempts to describe the qualitative features of evolving biological populations.
A major result we obtained recently with Martina Baar and Nicolas Champagnat [3] is the derivation of the so-called canonical equation of adaptive dynamics in a joint limit of large populations, small mutation rates, and small mutation steps. Using similar models, we have also initiated a collaboration with oncologists on the modelling of the evolution of cancer under treatment [4]. This poses numerous challenging problems both with respect to modelling, and the mathematical analysis of these models.
