Nominator's project description

Dr. Majumdar is one of the internationally leading experts in the field of non-equilibrium statistical physics. He focusses on interdisciplinary applications, in particular in computer science, where he investigates data structures and algorithms, and in mathematics, where he works on extreme-value statistics and random-matrix theory. During his stay in Germany he will work on the statistics of active motion
