Research

Her research interests include the use of random walks to model transport in disordered media, and stochastic processes more generally. She is also interested in physical and biological applications of probability theory. [3]

Education and career

After studying at ETH Zurich, [3] Gantert earned her Ph.D. from the University of Bonn in 1991. Her dissertation, Einige große Abweichungen der Brownschen Bewegung [some large deviations for Brownian motion] was supervised by Hans Föllmer. [4]

After postdoctoral research and a habilitation at the Technical University of Berlin, she held faculty positions at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the University of Münster before moving to Munich in 2011. [3]
