Sangwoo KimSangwoo Kim is set to join EPFL as a Tenure Track Assistant Professor in September 2023. Prior to his appointment at EPFL, he served as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He earned his graduate degree in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where his research delved into the relationships between statistics, geometry, and mechanical states in cellular matters. Currently, his research focus on fundamental understanding of biological and living systems, as well as the study of soft and active matter employing principles from mechanics and physics. His research interests encompass embryonic development, tissue morphogenesis, structure and mechanics of soft materials, inherent structure of amorphous materials, and non-equilibrium dynamics of active matter.
Martin HairerTeaching & PhD PhD Students Colin Piernot, Wenhao Zhao, Declan Rellan Stacy Courses Advanced stochastic analysis MATH-525 This course will give you in-depth knowledge in some topics of modern stochastic analysis. We will start with a general introduction to Gaussian measure theory followed by an introduction to Malliavin calculus and a selection of advanced topics.
