Optimisation plays a role in all aspects of society. From technology to university, from government to industry, everywhere the control of costs and the reduction of costs are crucial and techniques for optimization are indispensable. Examples of research in the Optimisation group are algorithms and complexity, mixed linear programming and discrete and computational geometry. Read more...
Applied Probability group
Probability theory is the mathematical theory of objects and processes in which randomness plays a role. Examples include fluctuations of stock markets and uncertainty in railway networks. The applied probability group’s research areas include mathematical statistical physics, ergodic theory, fractals, risk and finance.
Under the applied probability group there is another group: the Risk Analysis group. They focus on methodological developments that support innovative applications; traditional technical risk analysis as well as various emerging areas (financial and business risk). Read more...
Statistics group
In many fields of science and engineering, people wish to answer questions like: Does this new therapy work better than the old one? What is the expected residual lifetime of a patient suffering AIDS? What is the risk that a financial institution is exposed to? To answer these, sound statistical modelling and analysis of the data are needed. The group’s research focuses on infinite dimensional, non-parametric models. Read more...
