Michael Röckner

Michael Röckner (* February 15, 1956 in Herford ) is a German mathematician. He is a professor at the University of Bielefeld.

Röckner graduated in 1982 with a degree in mathematics and in 1984 at the University of Bielefeld with Sergio Albeverio doctorate (A Dirichlet problem for distribution and the Construction of Specifications for Generalized Gaussian Random Fields ). As a post - graduate student, he was in 1984/85 at Cornell University. In 1986 he became Lecturer in 1989 and Reader at the University of Edinburgh. In 1990 he became a professor in Bonn and in 1994 full professor in Bielefeld. 1997-1999 and 2001/2 he was dean. In addition to his professorship in Bielefeld, he is an adjunct professor at Purdue University.

He is primarily concerned with stochastic calculus and stochastic dynamics modeling in biology, physics, economics and chemistry.

In 1992 he was awarded with Albeverio and Zhi -Ming Ma, the Max Planck Research Prize in Mathematics. In 1989 he received the Whittaker Prize and the 1989 Heinz Maier- Leibnitz Prize with Andrew Lacey.

He is a member of the Academy of Sciences and Literature since 2003.
