Institute of Mathematical Stochastics

The Institute of Mathematical Stochastics focuses on the analysis of complex stochastic systems frequently seen in numerous fields of the natural and social sciences.

Professorships and Research Interests:

  • Gerold Alsmeyer (Renewal theory, Branching processes)
  • Steffen Dereich (Complex networks, Stochastic processes)
  • Matthias Löwe (Statistical mechanics, Random matrix theory)
  • Zakhar Kabluchko (Stochastic processes, Random polynomials, Extreme value theory)
  • Chiranjib Mukherjee (Large deviations, SPDE's, Directed polymers, Statistical mechanics)
Senior Lecturer:
  • Volkert Paulsen (Financial Mathematics)
Currently, the Institut of Mathematical Stochastics engages in the C5 and C6 project of the SFBs "Groups, geometry & actions" as well as in the DFG-project "Extraction of quantifiable informations from complex systems". Moreover, the Institute takes active part in the CENOS and DEMAIN Centres of the WWU Münster.


History of the Institut

The project "Geschichte des Instituts für Mathematische Statistik der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster" from Prof. (emer.) Dr. N. Schmitz reflects the gradual evolution of the Institute between 1959 and 2009. The project is only available in german.
