Manchester appoints Malwina Luczak with Leverhulme International Professorship win
ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ is delighted to announce the appointment of Professor Malwina Luczak to a chair in the in the .
Professor Luczak is one of three winners of the – highly competitive grants awarded by the Leverhulme Trust that allow UK universities to attract world-leading researchers from other countries.
She is a world expert in probability theory, with particular expertise in large random systems and their behaviour as the size of the system increases.
Professor Luczak has developed new mathematical techniques to analyse such systems, allowing her to investigate how changes in governing parameters modify the rate at which an equilibrium distribution is approached. In certain cases, small changes in the parameter can have a dramatic effect on this rate, with important real-world consequences for epidemic modelling and communication networks.
She will join ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ from the University of Melbourne in May 2023. We look forward to the exciting new advances in probability and statistics research and the wider scientific collaborations that will develop within the University and the UK after her arrival.
