Associate Prof. Marcin Lis, PhD has been affiliated with the Institute of Stochastics and Applied Mathematics (E105) at the Faculty of Mathematics and Geoinformation of TU Wien as an Associate Professor of Probability Theory since February 1, 2026.

Curriculum Vitae: Marcin Lis is from Barlinek, Poland, and studied mathematics and computer science (double degree) at the University of Warsaw. In 2010, he completed his master’s degree in mathematics at the University of Warsaw and simultaneously (cum laude) at VU University Amsterdam; in 2011, he completed his studies in computer science with a BSc from the University of Warsaw. He then moved to the Netherlands and earned his Ph.D. in mathematics in 2014 with a dissertation on the topic “The Kac–Ward approach to the Ising model” at VU University Amsterdam. After completing his doctorate, he moved further north to Sweden: Marcin Lis worked as a postdoc at both Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg until 2016, with a brief stint abroad as a Postdoc Semester Fellow at ICERM at Brown University (Rhode Island, USA). From 2016 to 2018, he conducted research as a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge and moved to the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Vienna in October 2018 as a university assistant. In April 2022, he secured a tenure track position in probability theory at TU Wien, which he has now successfully completed by qualifying as an Associate Professor.

His academic home is the Probability Theory research area (E105-07). His primary interest lies in rigorous two-dimensional statistical mechanics, with a focus on spin and potential function models, where he investigates the associated combinatorial structures to better understand the critical behavior and phase transitions of these models.
