Usman Ladan
I'm a second year CDT student in the Department of Statistics at the University of Warwick, working under the joint supervision of Andreas KyprianouLink opens in a new window, Emma HortonLink opens in a new window and Adam JohansenLink opens in a new window as a part of the MaThRadLink opens in a new window grant. My research interests lie in the areas of stochastic processes, stochastic analysis, branching processes and Monte Carlo methods. My PhD work focuses on the modelling and simulation of neutron transport within nuclear reactors. Together with my supervisors, I will be understanding existing nuclear algorithms through a sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) framework in order to derive new SMC based algorithms with increased efficiency and performance.
Prior to joining Warwick, I completed my MMath in Mathematics at the University of Oxford in 2023. My master’s thesis, entitled “On the Hydrodynamic Limits of Stochastic Resetting Models”, was supervised by Prof. Julien Berestycki. It focused on N-particle branching Brownian motion systems with spatial selection, analysing the limits of the systems’ empirical measures as their population sizes grew to infinity.
Outside of academic work, I have keen interests in film and television, with a particular affinity for sci-fi fantasy. I also enjoy playing music on both classical guitar and drums, and row for the University of Warwick Boat Club.
