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.

NEW PROBABILISTIC TECHNIQUES FOR THE ANALYSIS OF ENERGY NETWORKS UNDER UNCERTAINTY
Tommaso Nesti, PhD student at CWI’s Stochastics group, has developed new mathematical techniques to help model, control and operate modern-day power grids in the presence of uncertainty.
CWI starts development of statistical framework for prediction of fires
Recently, a project submitted to NWO-TTW's open technology programme by a consortium consisting of researchers from CWI, UT, Thales and the Twente Fire Brigade has been granted.
CWI develops new mathematical tools for analysis of rare events
PhD student Bohan Chen of CWI’s Stochastics group, developed new mathematical tools for rare event analysis. Chen’s PhD research has mainly focused on large deviations theory and rare-event simulation in heavy-tailed settings.
