Dominik Schmid

Dominik Schmid is a junior professor at the University of Augsburg, affiliated with the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Technology and the Institute of Mathematics under the Chair of Stochastics and Its Applications. Prior to this role, he held postdoctoral positions at Columbia University, University of Bonn, and Princeton University. His research focuses on probability theory, particularly mixing times for Markov chains, limit theorems for interacting particle systems, and stochastic processes in random media.

• Education:PhD in Mathematics, Technical University of Munich (2021)
• Research Trends:

  His work on exclusion processes, random walks in dynamic environments, and fragmentation models has been published in leading journals such as Annals of Probability, Communications in Mathematical Physics, and Annals of Applied Probability. Key themes include non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, random graph dynamics, and hydrodynamic limits.

• Scientific Contributions:
  • Developed sharp mixing time bounds for exclusion processes in various boundary conditions
  • Extended cutoff theory to tree structures and Galton-Watson random media
  • Derived limit profiles for the Bernoulli-Laplace urn and ASEP models
• Academic Engagement:

  Organizes workshops at institutions like the Simons Center and Oberwolfach, and has delivered invited talks in Poland, Hungary, Italy, and China. Teaches advanced courses on discrete probability and KPZ universality at the University of Augsburg.
