Frank den Hollander (born 1 December 1956) is a Dutch mathematician.
Frank den Hollander studied theoretical physics at Leiden University with undergraduate degree and MSc in 1980 [1] and a PhD in 1985 with thesis advisor Pieter Kasteleyn and thesis Random Walks on Random Lattices. [2] As a postdoc he studied from 1985 to 1989 with Michael Keane at Delft Technical University (TU Delft) and from 1989 to 1991 was at TU Delft on a scholarship from the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. Den Hollander was from 1991 to 1994 an associate professor at Utrecht University and from 1994 to 2000 a professor of probability and statistics at the Radboud University Nijmegen. He was from 2000 to 2005 a professor at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU Eindhoven) and scientific director of EURANDOM (TU Eindhoven's center for stochastic sciences). In 2005 he became a professor at Leiden University. [1]
His research deals with probability theory (e.g. theory of large deviations, potential theory methods, and systems of interacting particles), statistical physics (including applications of variational methods to phase transitions), ergodic theory, population genetics, and complex networks. [1]
Den Hollander has been a visiting professor at several academic institutions around the world, including a visit from August 1998 to January 1999 at the Fields Institute in Toronto. [1]
The Eindhoven University of Technology, abbr. TU/e, is a public technical university in the Netherlands, located in the city of Eindhoven. In 2020–21, around 14,000 students were enrolled in its BSc and MSc programs and around 1350 students were enrolled in its PhD and PDEng programs. In 2021, the TU/e employed around 3900 people.
In probability theory and related fields, a stochastic or random process is a mathematical object usually defined as a family of random variables. Stochastic processes are widely used as mathematical models of systems and phenomena that appear to vary in a random manner. Examples include the growth of a bacterial population, an electrical current fluctuating due to thermal noise, or the movement of a gas molecule. Stochastic processes have applications in many disciplines such as biology, chemistry, ecology, neuroscience, physics, image processing, signal processing, control theory, information theory, computer science, cryptography and telecommunications. Furthermore, seemingly random changes in financial markets have motivated the extensive use of stochastic processes in finance.
Delft University of Technology, also known as TU Delft, is the oldest and largest Dutch public technical university, located in Delft, Netherlands. As of 2022 it is ranked by QS World University Rankings among the top 10 engineering and technology universities in the world. In the fields of architecture and civil engineering, it was ranked 2nd in the world, after MIT.

Onno Johan Boxma is a Dutch mathematician, and Professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology, known for several contributions to queueing theory and applied probability theory.
David John Aldous FRS is a mathematician known for his research on probability theory and its applications, in particular in topics such as exchangeability, weak convergence, Markov chain mixing times, the continuum random tree and stochastic coalescence. He entered St. John's College, Cambridge, in 1970 and received his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge in 1977 under his advisor, D. J. H. Garling. Since 1979 Aldous has been on the faculty at University of California, Berkeley.
Bálint Tόth is a Hungarian mathematician whose work concerns probability theory, stochastic process and probabilistic aspects of mathematical physics. He obtained PhD in 1988 from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, worked as senior researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of the HAS and as professor of mathematics at TU Budapest. He holds the Chair of Probability at the University of Bristol and is a research professor at the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics, Budapest.
In the mathematical field of probability, the Wiener sausage is a neighborhood of the trace of a Brownian motion up to a time t, given by taking all points within a fixed distance of Brownian motion. It can be visualized as a sausage of fixed radius whose centerline is Brownian motion. The Wiener sausage was named after Norbert Wiener by M. D. Donsker and S. R. Srinivasa Varadhan (1975) because of its relation to the Wiener process; the name is also a pun on Vienna sausage, as "Wiener" is German for "Viennese".
Michael Robertus Hendrikus "Michel" Mandjes is a Dutch mathematician, known for several contributions to queueing theory and applied probability theory. His research interests include queueing models for telecommunications,traffic management and analysis, and network economics.
Wilhelmus Anthonius Josephus Luxemburg was a Dutch American mathematician who was a professor of mathematics at the California Institute of Technology.
Mark Iosifovich Freidlin is a Russian-American probability theorist who works as a Distinguished University Professor of Mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is one of the namesakes of the Freidlin–Wentzell theory, which is an important part of the large deviations theory. Freidlin and Wentzell are the authors of the first monograph on the large deviations theory for stochastic processes (1979). The Freidlin-Wentzell theory describes, in particular, the long-time effects caused by random perturbations. The latest edition of the book was published by Springer in 2012. It contains not just the results on large deviations but also new results on other asymptotic problems, in particular, on the averaging principle for stochastic perturbations. Other works of Mark Freidlin concern perturbations of Hamiltonian systems, wave front propagation in reaction-diffusion equations, non-linear perturbations of partial differential equations. stochasticity in deterministic dynamical systems.
