Prof. Dr. Frank Aurzada is a Professor of Stochastics at the Department of Mathematics, Darmstadt University of Technology (Technische Universität Darmstadt). He serves as Vice Dean and leads the Stochastics Research Group (Arbeitsgruppe Stochastik). His office is located at Schlossgartenstraße 7, 64289 Darmstadt, Germany, in room S2|15 341. Professor Aurzada's research focuses on probability theory and stochastic processes, with particular expertise in persistence probabilities, fractional Brownian motion, Lévy processes, and Brownian motion. His work often examines first passage problems, asymptotic analysis, and path properties of stochastic processes. He has made significant contributions to understanding the behavior of processes under various constraints and conditions, including conditioned Brownian motion and persistence exponents in diverse settings. His recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on theoretical aspects of stochastic processes with applications spanning from communication networks to interacting particle systems. The research trends show increasing sophistication in handling complex constraints on stochastic processes and developing perturbation methods for analyzing persistence phenomena. Professor Aurzada has organized numerous academic events, including multiple Spring Schools on specialized topics in probability theory dating back to 2014. His most recent and upcoming events include the Spring School on "Extrema of logarithmically correlated random fields and applications" (March 2025) and the Spring School on "Multiplicative chaos and cascades" (February 2024). For teaching, Professor Aurzada offers courses such as "Statistik I für Cognitive Science und Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen" and "Stochastische Prozesse" for the Winter 2025/2026 semester. His research group actively collaborates with institutions worldwide, including universities in Russia, France, and the United States.
