Biography

Christina Goldschmidt is a Professor of Probability in the Department of Statistics at the University of Oxford. She earned her undergraduate and master's degrees in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge, then completed her PhD at the Statistical Laboratory under the supervision of James Norris. Following her doctoral studies, she worked as a postdoc at the Laboratoire de Probabilités et Modèles Aléatoires at Université Paris VI, supervised by Jean Bertoin. During her career, Goldschmidt has held several prestigious positions, including a Stokes Fellowship in Mathematics at Pembroke College, Cambridge, from 2004 to 2007, and an EPSRC Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Department of Statistics at Oxford alongside a Junior Research Fellowship at Wolfson College from 2007 to 2009. From 2009 to 2011, she served as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Warwick before returning to Oxford. Goldschmidt held the EPSRC Early Career Fellowship from January 2016 to December 2020 and was awarded the title of Professor in Probability in 2017. Her research focuses on random discrete structures, particularly random trees and graphs, scaling limits, combinatorial stochastic processes, and processes of coagulation and fragmentation.
