معرفی
Karen Habermann is an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Warwick, where she previously held the position of Harrison Early Career Assistant Professor. Her academic journey includes postdoctoral fellowships at Sorbonne Université (funded by FSMP) and the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics at the University of Bonn. She completed her PhD at the University of Cambridge under Prof. James Norris, focusing on sub-Riemannian diffusion processes. Her research interests span stochastic processes, geometric analysis, and differential geometry, with a focus on sub-Riemannian manifolds and their applications in mathematical physics.
Education: PhD in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge (Cambridge Centre for Analysis), MMath and BA in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge.
Her research explores stochastic processes on geometric structures, including sub-Riemannian diffusions, optimal transport, and stochastic differential equations. Notable contributions include studies on Brownian motion configurations, Lévy area approximations, and Cartan connections in stochastic developments. She has been affiliated with teams such as Inria Paris' CAGE and Prof. Ugo Boscain’s group, reflecting interdisciplinary collaborations in geometric analysis.
Her work often bridges probability theory and differential geometry, with applications in mathematical physics and medical imaging (e.g., proton beam radiotherapy modeling). Office hours for Term 3 2024/25 are Wednesdays 14:30–15:30 and Fridays 13:30–14:30 by email appointment.
