Steffen Rohde Professor, appointed 1998 (Ph.D. Technische Universität Berlin 1989) Research area: Analysis and Probability, with an emphasis on geometric function theory Personal Web page: http://www.math.washington.edu/~rohde/index.html E-mail: rohde[_a_t_]math.washington.edu Phone: 543-6171 Office: PDL C-337 Courses taught this quarter: MATH 534 A Hobbies: Music (piano, alternative rock), outdoors (SCUBA, mountaineering, biking) Professional interests My research interests include geometric function theory (conformal and quasiconformal mappings, analysis on metric spaces), complex dynamics, and some questions from probability/mathematical physics. The recent discovery of the Schramm Loewner Evolution SLE by Oded Schramm led to spectacular breakthroughs in questions about random walks, planar Brownian motion, and critical lattice processes such as percolation. Currently, most of my research is related to SLE and similar processes. Selected bibliography Basic properties of SLE, with O. Schramm, Ann. Math., to appear, [arXiv:math.PR/0106036] The Loewner Differential Equation and Slit Mappings, with D. Marshall, preprint Some remarks on Laplacian growth, with M.
