Description
Leader of the group Stochastics: Bert Zwart.
Many natural and man-made systems and processes are driven by random phenomena. Examples can be found in areas such as communication, energy, information, logistics, and transportation systems. In order to model, describe, and improve such systems, our group develops and studies probabilistic, operational and statistical models. Our group’s analysis of these models relies on techniques from fundamental probability theory, queueing theory, stochastic scheduling, spatial stochastics and stochastic geometry. Our work with various companies in these areas, as well as with top researchers and universities across the globe, ensures our position at the forefront of every aspect of this research field.

2021 Huibregtsen Award to CWI's Rob van der Mei and Sandjai Bhulai (VU)
Rob van der Mei (CWI/VU) and Sandjai Bhulai (VU) have been named the joint winners of the 2021 Huibregtsen Award for their research project on ‘Mathematics for a safer and healthier Netherlands’.
Maths students contribute to coronavirus vaccination planning
Five Master's students of VU Amsterdam developed a mathematical model that has greatly improved the planning of coronavirus vaccinations in the Netherlands, so people could be vaccinated more quickly. The students were advised by Rob van der Mei (CWI and VU) and Dennis Moeke (HAN).
