Marcel Ortgiese is a Reader in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath, affiliated with the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Statistical Applied Mathematics (SAMBa) and the Probability Laboratory at Bath. His research focuses on probability theory, including spatial population models, stochastic processes in random environments, and evolving random graphs. He investigates large-scale behaviors of interfaces in evolutionary biology contexts, branching processes in inhomogeneous environments, and dynamic processes on random graph structures. His work integrates theoretical analysis with applications to real-world systems, emphasizing interdisciplinary connections between probability and complex networks. Current projects include studying the interplay between geometry and randomness in fitness landscapes for expanding populations (EPSRC-funded) and advancing methods for cumulants and superconcentration phenomena. Ortgiese has contributed to foundational research on contact processes, voter models, preferential attachment networks, and symbiotic branching systems. His recent studies explore adaptive network dynamics, subcritical random graph properties, and asymptotic behaviors in weighted recursive trees. He holds a PhD from the University of Bath (2009) under Prof. Peter Morters and has supervised numerous graduate students through SAMBa's training programs. His academic contributions are reflected in over 20 peer-reviewed articles in top journals such as Stochastic Processes and their Applications and Annals of Applied Probability . Research themes consistently emphasize stochastic analysis of complex systems, with applications ranging from epidemiological modeling to evolutionary dynamics.
