Şefika Kuzgun

Veröffentlicht am 17.09.2024

Hello! My name is Şefika Kuzgun and I am a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Prof. Dr. Felix Otto at the MPI MiS since September 2024. Before MPI, I was a Postdoc at University of Rochester. I studied at Boğaziçi University in İstanbul and afterwards completed my PhD at University of Kansas under the supervision of Professor David Nualart.

I am interested in problems in stochastic analysis and stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs). Many physical systems can be described in terms of SPDEs. I like to explore properties of such SPDEs using tools from stochastic analysis. I am very excited to be part of the research community at MPI.

I always liked solving mathematical problems and knew early on that this is what I would like to do for the rest of my life. However, at one point in my career I realized that I also like engaging in activities with a real-world impact. For this reason, I started taking part in various activities to promote equal opportunity in academia.

Outside academia, I enjoy visiting new places and taking long walks. I am looking forward to exploring the culture and nature of Leipzig and its surroundings. I also would like to start cycling again!
