معرفی
Prof Nicos Georgiou is a Professor of Probability Theory and Applications at the University of Sussex, within the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and has held academic positions including Reader, Senior Lecturer, and Lecturer at Sussex, as well as a postdoctoral role at the University of Utah. His research focuses on Probability Theory, with emphasis on random spatial processes, last passage percolation, and applications in queueing theory, epidemiology, and econophysics.
Education:
- PhD in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Madison (2011)
- MA in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Madison (2008)
- BSc in Mathematics, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (2006)
Research Interests:
- Probability Theory fundamentals and applications
- Last Passage Percolation (LPP) and its connections to particle systems like TASEP
- Queueing models with Mittag-Leffler inter-event times
- Epidemic modeling on complex networks
- Continuum and thermodynamic limits for wealth-distribution models
Key Publications (2020–2025) span topics like exact social contagion dynamics, Mittag-Leffler queuing systems, and TASEP on Galton-Watson trees. His work bridges theoretical insights with real-world applications in traffic modeling, economics, and public health.
Grants include EPSRC funding for studying last passage percolation and LMS support for random media research. He has organized conferences and presented at international venues such as BIRS and INI.
Teaching responsibilities include modules like Discrete Mathematics and Introduction to Probability, with supervision of undergraduate and graduate projects on topics like sequence alignment and traffic flow models.
