Nikolaos Zygouras
I am a professor at the department of mathematics at Warwick.
My research lies in the field of Probability Theory and its applications to models of statistical physics (random media, statistical mechanics, stochastic PDEs). I am also interested in the relations to PDEs, representation theory and combinatorics.
You can contact me at N.Zygouras@warwick.ac.uk or you can find me at C1.10 in the Zeeman building.

Teaching :
In 2024 I will be teaching Symmetric Functions and Integrable Probability (Notes) and Graduate Probability (notes). In the past I have taught postgraduate courses: Integrable Probability, Discrete stochastic analysis, Brownian Motion (4th year / MSc / PhD) and Advanced topics in Applied Probability: Random Growth and Random Matrices. Graduate Probability, Large Deviations, Concentration of Measure, Mixing times and undergraduate courses: Statistics for Finance, Multivariate Statistics, Probability A,B, and Stochastic Processes, Mathematical Methods, Complex Variables, Calculus
Talks
I prefer to give blackboard talks. But when the microsoft powerpoint (i.e. chalk) is not available I resort to technology: Combinatorial structures in KPZ (a two part colloquium talk), Scaling limits & disorder
Editorials
I am an Associate Editor at the
Journal of the London Mathematical Society
Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society
Electronic Journal of Probability
Electronic Communications in Probability
Taiwanese Journal of Mathematics (2013-2023)
