ERC grant for Máté Gerencsér

© FWF, Daniel Novotny Many effects in nature are determined by pure randomness. Máté Gerencsér is investigating the best way to incorporate random phenomena into differential equations and has now been awarded an ERC Starting Grant for his research. The ERC Starting Grants of the European Research Council are among the most highly endowed and prestigious grants in the European research landscape. One such grant has now been awarded to mathematician Máté Gerencsér from TU Wien. Gerencsér had only recently obtained a START Prize by the Austrian Research Fund FWF, and now his research project is getting an upgrade: with his ERC grant, endowed with approximately 1.5 million Euros, Máté Gerencsér will now push ahead with his research and set up a research group. How to describe the world. Differential equations are probably the most important mathematical tool for the natural sciences today.
