Ofer Busani and Leonardo Tolomeo have both been awarded ERC Starting Grants. Ofer’s project “Universality in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang class” aims to solve central open problems in the study of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang class which consists of a large set of models, sharing common microscopic dynamical features as well as develop new tools to study the models.Leonardo’s project “Overcoming Criticality for PDEs with Randomness” is concerned with the study of the dynamics of partial differential equations in the presence of randomness with a particular focus on dispersive equations.This round attracted almost 4000 proposals with just over 12% being selected for funding. Ofer and Leonardo were two of 5 successes for the University of Edinburgh and two of the 14 awards in mathematics across Europe.Click here to read the announcement on the European Research Council website Tags Staff success Publication date 19 Sep, 2025
