News

September 2025: The stochastics seminar is still up and running! See here for more information.
August 2025: welcoming Erwin Luesink as a post-doc.

Research

My research focusses on numerical methods for stochastic (partial) differential equations (SPDEs). In that context I am also interested in regularity of solutions to SPDEs, and stochastic calculus in infinite-dimensional (Banach) spaces. Recently I have started looking into stochastic differential equations in manifolds. I am in the stochastics group of the Korteweg-de Vries Instituut of the University of Amsterdam.
