Dr Matthew Roberts

Research interests:

  • Probability
  • Branching processes: branching Brownian motion, branching random walks
  • Random graphs, random environments

Matt’s research is in probability, concentrating mainly on systems with an underlying branching structure. This includes traditional mathematical models such as branching Brownian motion and Galton-Watson trees. He is also interested in ways of using branching models to study objects such as computer algorithms, mutation rates in evolutionary biology, and mixing times for Markov chains.
