Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This advanced seminar gives an overview of probability methods as applied to current models of evolutionary biology. Some limited introduction on the biological background and the mathematical methods is provided, but the main focus is on state-of-the-art stochastic modelling of evolutionary problems. Interested students should send email to joachim.hermisson@univie.ac.at.
