Jonas Jalowy

I am a mathematician specializing in probability theory. Currently, I am Junior Professor in Paderborn and Investigator within the SPP2265.

Before, I was Postdoc in Münster as a member of the SPP2265, in the working groups of Martin Huesmann, Matthias Erbar and Matthias Löwe. I graduated in 2020, under the supervision of Friedrich Götze and as a member of the IRTG2235.

My research primarily focuses on various aspects of point processes, at the interface of probability, analysis, and mathematical physics. Ultimately, I find probability theory as a whole fascinating and I am working on… 

• point processes

• roots of (random) polynomials

• random matrices

• spin systems

I enjoy visualizing my research and building connections to other fields, such as free probability, potential theory, or optimal transport. Visit

Working group: I am the PhD supervisor of Antonia Höfert, working on zero distributions of polynomials undergoing the heat flow.

Teaching: This year, I am teaching point processes (winter '25) and random matrices (summer '25). We will have a master's seminar in summer '26, so feel free reach out to me about a possible master thesis.

Events: The next "Workshop on Stochastic Geometry and Point Processes" takes place at Paderborn University on May 12, 2026. I am also organizing an upcoming workshop "Back to the Roots (of Polynomials)" for September 22-25, 2026, jointly with Antonia Höfert.
Previously, I was organizer of the pepper-school, together with Hanna Stange.
