Lisa Hartung

Lisa Hartung is a Full Professor (W3) at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz's Department of Mathematics since 2025, leading research in stochastic processes. She previously held Associate (2019-2025) and Assistant Professor (2019) positions at the same institution and served as a Courant Instructor at NYU's Courant Institute (2016-2018).

Her educational background includes a PhD from Bonn University (2016) under Prof. Anton Bovier in Probability Theory. Key research interests span branching Brownian motion, Gaussian free fields, random energy models, and stochastic processes on evolving networks, with applications in statistical mechanics and mathematical physics. Her work frequently addresses extremal processes, phase transitions, and complex temperature phenomena.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals dominant trends in log-correlated random fields, variable-speed branching processes, and hard-wall boundary conditions. Articles consistently explore asymptotic behavior, maximum processes, and structural properties of stochastic systems, with increasing interdisciplinary connections to computer science through data stream modeling.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Förderpreis der Fachgruppe Stochastik (2018)

Hartung secures substantial research funding as PI for multiple high-impact projects: the ANR-DFG grant Random Energy Models (2020), DFG's SPP 2265 Random Geometric Systems (2020), TRR146 Multiscale Simulation Methods (2020), and Carl-Zeiss project TOPML (2022). She also serves on the executive board of DMV Fachgruppe Stochastik (since 2023) and coordinates Jugend trainiert Mathematik for grades 8/9.

Her research group participates in the DFG-funded network Stochastic Processes on Evolving Networks and collaborates internationally through workshops on interacting particle systems and stochastic population models.
