Founded in 2023, the probability group at King's College London is one of the newest additions to the Department of Mathematics. It has intradisciplinary ties to other groups including Analysis, Disordered Systems, Statistics and Mathematical Data Science, and its members are well connected to other international institutions.

The group’s research spans a broad spectrum of topics in both discrete and continuous probability. Recent interests include random graphs and trees (combinatorial features, scaling limits, coalescent and branching structures, random matrix theory), stochastic and Lévy processes in infinite dimensional spaces, free probability, random sphere packings in high dimensions, random walks and percolation on strongly correlated structures, optimal control and transport, interacting particle systems, mixing times of Markov chains.

The group fosters a highly active research environment through its weekly seminar series, as well as the biannual London Probability Day, organised in collaboration with UCL and Queen Mary University. These events highlight research in probability theory and its applications, bringing together leading experts from around the globe.

Candidates interested in pursuing PhD studies are encouraged to contact members of the group directly to discuss potential research projects. Find out more about research degrees.
