The team Stochastic processes and random structures is made of about thirty permanent researchers working on both sites of the lab: the campus Pierre et Marie Curie (Sorbonne Université) and the Sophie Germain building (Université Paris Cité). The research carried out in this team revolves around probability theory. Here is a non-exhaustive list of research topics that are investigated by the members of the team:

Brownian motion, Bessel processes, Lévy processes
Random walks in random environment
Reinforced random walks
First and last passage percolation
Branching processes, branching random walks, branching Brownian motions
Fragmentation, coagulation and coalescence
Random graphs, continuum random tree, Levy trees
Random maps, Brownian geometry
Probabilistic interpretation of partial differential equations
Stochastic differential equations
Interacting particle systems and mean field limits
Interface models, directed polymers, pinning models
Dimer models, exactly solvable models,
Kinetic equations
Stochastic partial differential equations
Gaussian fields
Conformally invariant processes (Schramm–Loewner evolution)
Functional inequalities
Random matrices
Convergence to equilibrium, mixing times
