Markus Schepers

Welcome! How are you doing? Do you want to know more about my work and research?

Bio

Hi! My name is Markus Schepers.

  • I am currently working at the University of Mainz, Germany. My job consists of research, teaching and statistical consulting (of medical doctoral students and physicians at the hospital).
  • I completed a doctorate in mathematics at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, with a thesis on hyperbolic random graphs.
  • Before that, I obtained a master's degree with distinction in mathematics and the foundations of computer science at the University of Oxford, as a student of Somerville College.
  • I started my bachelor's studies in mathematics with a minor in computer science at the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany, supported by a Felix-Klein-scholarship. Thanks to a DAAD scholarship, I could study one semester at the National University of Singapore.

Research

For a list of my publications, please check out my Google scholar profile. For preprints and pdfs, you can search me on arxiv. I am also writing a blog where I explore a diverse range of topics, with a mathematical mindset. I love doing research because I have a lot of questions and very broad and (for some questions) very deep interests. I am still very far from the answers I desire, but I really want to learn more (actually as much as I can), and I really enjoy exchanging ideas, knowledge and inspiration in relaxed conversations. It is very difficult for me to specify or limit myself to only one or two subjects or topics because I really like mathematics for its clear and careful way of thinking. I really like mathematics for its beautiful abstract results and proofs and its (near) absolute certainty, but I similarly like mathematics as a tool to understand the world and as the language of nature and uncertainty. I am sorry that this website is still in the process of construction. I hope to add some more text explaining past and current research works in the near future. May this website serve as another point of contact, fostering new connections and collaborations! Do you have any questions that interest you and that you would like to ask and share with me?
