Sarah Penington is a probabilist currently serving as a Reader and Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Bath in the Department of Mathematical Sciences. She is an Associate Editor at the Annals of Applied Probability and a member of the Prob-L@B probability group.
- University of Bath (2018–present): Reader and Royal Society University Research Fellow
- University of Oxford (2016–2018): G H Hardy Junior Research Fellow
- University of Oxford (2013–2016): PhD in Statistics
Her research focuses on probabilistic modeling in population genetics, dual processes, solutions to partial differential equations via probabilistic techniques, branching processes, and interacting particle systems. She has developed mathematical frameworks for Wolbachia invasion in mosquito populations, free boundary problems in Fisher-KPP type equations, and hybrid zone dynamics via branching Brownian motion.
Her publications span topics in non-local competition, hypercube percolation, spatial Lambda Fleming-Viot processes, and wave propagation in nonlinear PDEs. Key trends include stochastic particle systems, population genetics, and probabilistic methods in biological and mathematical physics.
