Dr Joost Jorritsma

Subject: Statistics

Academic position: Senior Demy

I am a Florence Nightingale Bicentenary Research Fellow at the Department of Statistics, and Senior Demy at Magdalen College. Before arriving to Oxford, I have obtained a PhD in Probability Theory from Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands, and I did a postdoc at the Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science in Amsterdam. My main research is on random graphs and random processes taking place on these networks, and is inspired by real-world phenomena such as disease spreading.
