Rainer Klages

Rainer Klages spent several years as a PhD student and a postdoctoral researcher in the US, Hungary, Belgium, and Germany. He then moved to the Queen Mary University of London, where he is a reader in applied mathematics. In 2019, he returned to his home city of Berlin as a Mercator visiting professor. In his research, he combines dynamical systems theory, nonequilibrium statistical physics, and stochastic theory to understand complex systems, with applications in nanoscience and biology. He is especially interested in modeling the movements of organisms using movement ecology and the theories of active particles and anomalous stochastic processes.
