Thomas G. Kurtz focuses on Markov chain, Statistical physics, Applied mathematics, Stochastic process and Stochastic modelling. The various areas that he examines in his Markov chain study include Martingale, State and Markov process. His Statistical physics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Constant, Limit, Scaling and Stationary distribution.

His Limit study incorporates themes from Poisson distribution and Mathematical optimization. His study focuses on the intersection of Applied mathematics and fields such as Boundary value problem with connections in the field of Differential equation and Numerical partial differential equations. His research in Stochastic process tackles topics such as Zero which are related to areas like Brownian motion.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Continuous Time Markov Chain Models for Chemical Reaction Networks (219 citations)
  • Product-form stationary distributions for deficiency zero chemical reaction networks. (156 citations)
  • Separation of time-scales and model reduction for stochastic reaction networks. (134 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Mathematical analysis
  • Statistics
  • Stochastic process

Thomas G. Kurtz mainly investigates Statistical physics, Markov chain, Stochastic process, Continuous-time Markov chain and Mathematical analysis. He usually deals with Statistical physics and limits it to topics linked to Stochastic modelling and Markov renewal process, Balance equation, Additive Markov chain, Markov chain mixing time and Variable-order Markov model. His Markov chain research incorporates elements of Scaling and Applied mathematics.

Thomas G. Kurtz combines subjects such as Mathematics education, Discretization, Order of accuracy and Tau-leaping with his study of Applied mathematics.
