Nominator's project description

Professor den Hollander is an outstanding and international recognized researcher in probability theory in particular the fields of large deviations, systems evolving in random media and applications of probability theory in mathematical physics and mathematical biology. He was extremely active and successful initiating research networks in this context. During his stay in Germany he will work with his hosts on stochastic spatial population models and issues of metastability in mathematical physics.
