Maurice Duits

Maurice Duits is a Professor at the Department of Mathematics, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. His research focuses on probability theory, mathematical physics, and statistical mechanics, with a strong emphasis on random matrix theory, determinantal processes, and orthogonal polynomials. He is affiliated with the School of Engineering Sciences and holds roles such as examiner and teacher in courses like Degree Project in Mathematics and Ethics, Sustainability and Equity for Mathematicians.

His work spans topics including lozenge tilings, Aztec diamond models, Ginibre ensembles, and fluctuation analysis in non-colliding particle systems. Notable contributions include studies on elliptic curves in tiling models and applications of non-Hermitian orthogonal polynomials. Recent research (2023–2025) explores Benford’s Law in matrix ensembles and q-Racah ensembles in hexagonal tilings.

Publications frequently address asymptotic behavior of Toeplitz determinants, Painlevé kernels in Hermitian matrix models, and universality in multi-matrix models. No academic awards are explicitly listed in the provided texts.

Grant details or lab affiliations are not documented here, but his collaborative projects (e.g., with T. Berggren, A. Borodin) highlight interdisciplinary work in mathematical physics and probability. His research bridges combinatorial structures and analytical methods, with applications to both theoretical and applied statistical systems.
