Rhys Steele - Personal Webpage

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in the group of Professor Felix Otto.  My research interests lie at the interface between stochastic analysis and the analysis of partial differential equations. In particular, I am interested in renormalisation problems for singular SPDEs in a variety of contexts.

I completed my PhD under the supervision of Professor Martin Hairer (my PhD thesis, titled 'Renormalisation and A Priori Bounds for Singular SPDEs' can be found here).

Before my PhD, I completed my MMath degree at the University of Oxford where I wrote my Master's thesis, titled 'Ancestries in the Spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot Process with Selection', under the supervision of Professor Alison Etheridge. For this thesis, I was awarded the Gibb's dissertation prize in 2018.

I am also one of the organisers of the `2nd Summer School on PDE and Randomness' that is due to take place at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig in July 2026.
