Question 4

Where is Stochastic processes and statistical mechanics research done?

Accepted Answer

The largest centres of Stochastic processes and statistical mechanics research in 2022-now are Paris (France), Beijing (China), Moscow (Russia) and New York (United States). Among places with at least 20 works in it, it is an unusually large share of all research in Coventry and Gif-sur-Yvette.

Question 5

Where is the best place to study Stochastic processes and statistical mechanics?

Accepted Answer

Among universities, judged by research, University of Warwick, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Sorbonne Université score highest, combining excellence, specialisation, size, growth and international reach. Research strength is one signal when choosing where to study; it does not measure teaching.
