Robert Dalang

Robert Dalang is a Full Professor and Chair of Probabilities at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. He is affiliated with the School of Basic Sciences, Department of Mathematics, specifically the Probability Section. His office is located in building MA, room B2 493 at EPFL's Lausanne campus. He also serves as a Full Professor in the Section of Mathematics (SMA) and for the Doctoral Program in Mathematics (EDMA).

Professor Dalang's research focuses on probability theory and stochastic analysis. His work primarily centers on:

• Stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs), particularly stochastic heat and wave equations
• Brownian motion and Brownian sheet
• Lévy processes and Lévy white noise
• Hitting probabilities and polarity
• Fractal properties of random fields
• Stochastic optimization problems

His recent publications demonstrate a continued focus on the theoretical properties of solutions to stochastic partial differential equations, including their regularity, hitting probabilities, and asymptotic behavior. He has made significant contributions to understanding the fine properties of solutions to stochastic heat and wave equations, particularly in critical dimensions.

Professor Dalang has served on the elected committee for the Pension fund PUBLICA since Fall 2007, being reelected for 2009-2012. His work on this committee has focused on preserving employee interests during the transition from a defined benefits system to a defined contributions system.

He has supervised numerous PhD students, including:

• Candil David Jean-Michel
• Chen Le
• Ciccarella Carlo
• Conus Daniel
• Dumas Frédéric
• Humeau Thomas Marie Jean-Baptiste
• Pu Fei
• Rossel Jean-Benoît
• Vinckenbosch Laura

Professor Dalang teaches courses including Analysis III, Analysis IV, and Theory of Stochastic Calculus at EPFL.
