Frank den Hollander

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.

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.

[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.
