Wolfgang König

Wolfgang König is a full Professor of Probability Theory at the Institute of Mathematics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Technische Universität Berlin, and leads the research group Stochastic Systems with Interaction at the Weierstraß Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS Berlin). His research focuses on probability theory and its applications in statistical physics and telecommunications.

Education

• 1984–1989: Diplom in Mathematik, Technische Universität Berlin
• 1994: Dr. Phil, Universität Zürich
• 2000: Habilitation, Technische Universität Berlin

Research Interests

Professor König's work spans:

• Stochastic processes and large deviations
• Parabolic Anderson model and random media
• Statistical mechanics of interacting particle systems
• Probabilistic methods in telecommunications
• Branching processes in random environments

Publications

His recent publications (2019–2025) explore large deviations in sparse networks, Bose gas physics, stochastic PDEs, and applications of probability in telecommunications. Works consistently demonstrate rigorous mathematical analysis of complex physical systems.
