  • (May 2011) Niek Bouman received the best student paper award at the ValueTools 2011 conference, for the paper Stability of Spatial Wireless Systems with Random Admissible-Set Scheduling.
  • (April 2011) There are several open postdoc and PhD positions. The research topics include wireless networks (with Sem Borst), interacting particle systems, reflected stochastic processes, scaling limits, random graphs (with Remco van der Hofstad) and analytic combinatorics. We are looking for candidates with a strong background in mathematics and probability theory. Please send me an email if you're interested.
