This research area links the microscopic world of individual interacting components to the macroscopic behaviour of complex systems.
Applied Probability provides the fundamental framework for Statistical Mechanics by explaining how large numbers of interacting parts, such as molecules, fluid vortices, stock traders, neurons, and computer servers, give rise to collective behaviour.
Stochastic Analysis uses tools such as stochastic partial differential equations and Brownian motion to explore how these systems evolve over time by modelling randomness and uncertainty.
Together, these disciplines provide a powerful mathematical framework for analysing systems ranging from chemical physics to financial markets, where large-scale patterns emerge from microscopic interactions.
