“Although maths may appear too abstract (…), everybody has been exposed to (…) digital security or artificial intelligence, which (…) rely (…) in mathematics. I (…) believe that maths is invaluable to our society (…).” - Mihyun Kang

Our first official publication of 2025: "A bijective look at gapfree partitions: between local and global" by Shane Chern et al.

Shane said of this milestone:
“A toast to George, my dearest PhD advisor!"

Check it out here 👉 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Our 3 unis have placed in the top 25% (ok, since we’re pedantic, the top 24%–28% 😉) of the Academic Ranking of World Universities 2025!

1️⃣ Uni of Vienna → Group 101–150
(+ 31st in maths!)
2️⃣ TU Wien → Group 201–300

3️⃣ TU Graz → Group 601–700

Congratulations to all unis!

Our paper on percolated graphs is a compelling example of how combining ideas from combinatorics, probability, and statistical physics can lead to new insights.



Our approach is based on the initial insight that, in expectation, the problem behaves like the Ising Model.

Excited to announce Nathanael has been named a Fellow of the IMS for his contributions to probability theory and mathematical physics.

“I couldn't be prouder to have been named a Fellow. The IMS publishes the best journals in the field, making sure these are priced affordably and inclusively.”

We hosted Andres Contreras Hip from Chicago for a 2-week research visit in Vienna! He joined us for maths collaboration, talks, and even visited the Budapest-Vienna Seminar.
Andres concluded: “Great math, food & music in a superb city.”
Swipe to see Vienna & Budapest through his eyes!

Nathanael just returned from a research trip to China, where he met Prof Sun at PKU.

He said:
“I was hugely impressed by the scientific level, which is on a strikingly exponential upward trajectory. China is building a world-class scientific environment, and probability community in particular."
