My team is currently comprised of two PhD students and half a postdoc.
Our newest member is Marlene Durek, who started her position within the IRTG2544 Berlin-Oxford “Stochastic Analysis in Interaction” in April 2026. She is jointly supervised with Adrian Gonzalez Casanova from U Arizona and works on Griffiths representations.
János Nitschke, who started his position within the CRC 388 “Rough Analysis, Stochastic Dynamics & Related Fields” in June 2025. He is a member of project A09 working on dormancy in branching models with a random environment.
Also within the CRC 388 “Rough Analysis, Stochastic Dynamics & Related Fields” I share Sascha Gaudlitz as a postdoc with Markus Reiss working in project B06.
Former members
Julio Ernesto Nava Trejo was a member of the IRTG2544 Berlin-Oxford “Stochastic Analysis in Interaction” from October 2023 to August 2025 when he completed his thesis on dormancy related stochastic processes. He is now a postdoc at UCSD.
Marta dai Pra started her PhD on multi-type Lambda-coalescents with a BMS scholarship in 2022 and completed it in March 2026 within the IRTG2544 Berlin-Oxford “Stochastic Analysis in Interaction”. She is now a postdoc at U Bielefeld in the group of Ellen Baake.
Tobias Paul joined the team in 2021 as a PhD student in the project EF 4-7 "The impact of dormancy on the evolutionary, ecological and pathogenic properties of microbial populations" of the MATH+ Research Centre. He was jointly supervised with Jochen Blath from Goethe- University Frankfurt. After completing his degree in 2024 he became a Postdoc in my group in the project AA3-18 "Evolution Processes for Populations and Economic Agents" of the MATH+ Research Centre.
Nils Hansen started his PhD in 2019 at Ruhr-University Bochum in the RTG2131 „High dimensional phenomena in probability – fluctuations and discontinuity“ on the topic of „Duality and coordination“. He was supervised jointly with Adrián González Casanova from UNAM, Mexico, and completed his degree in 2024.
