Maximilian Nitzschner
Courant Instructor at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University.
My main research interests are probability theory and mathematical physics, especially:
- Random walks and random interlacements
- Gaussian free field and interface models
- Percolation
- Interacting particle systems
I received my PhD from ETH Zurich under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Alain-Sol Sznitman. From February 2018 to May 2020 I acted as coordinator of Assistant Group 3.
