Nic Freeman

Dr Nic Freeman is a Lecturer in Applied Probability and Programme Leader for Financial Mathematics at the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, University of Sheffield. He holds an academic position within the Department of Mathematics and is a member of the Probability research group. His research focuses on probability theory, stochastic processes, random geometry, fractals, and applications to population genetics and financial mathematics.

Dr Freeman teaches courses such as MAS350 Measure and Probability, MAS352 Stochastic Processes and Finance, MAS451 Measure and Probability, and MAS452 Stochastic Processes and Finance. His work integrates theoretical probability with practical applications, including the study of preferential attachment models, coalescent processes, and spatial stochastic systems. He is affiliated with the Hicks Building, located in Room I20.

Research interests span topics such as tightness criteria for random processes, Brownian web/net structures, and cluster dynamics in network models. His recent publications explore foundational aspects of stochastic processes and their convergence properties, contributing to both pure and applied probability theory. Dr Freeman collaborates within interdisciplinary teams and maintains an active research profile in mathematical probability.
