He is the author of more than 130 scientific papers and two monographs, Statistical Mechanics of Disordered Systems: A Mathematical Perspective (Cambridge, 2006) and Metastability: A Potential-Theoretic Approach (with Frank den Hollander, 2016). Bovier is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and a member of the Clusters of Excellence, The Hausdorff Center for Mathematics and ImmunoSensation, both at the University of Bonn.
Reviews
'The text is a very well-written presentation of the motivations and recent developments in the study of the extreme process of the BBM. This provides a perfect guide for any researcher interested in this field, especially those who are looking for a relatively quick introduction.' Bastien Mallein, Mathematical Reviews
'When discussing most of the questions, the author pays good attention to both ideas and techniques. He presents a large number of results, many of them are non-trivial limit theorems. Some results are classical in the field, others are quite new, published very recently. While some of the results belong to the author, credit is given to several other contributors in the area. Besides the many results given with their proofs, the author includes useful bibliographical notes in the end of each chapter. The book ends with a comprehensive list of 117 references and Index. This is a well-written book on hot topics from modern stochastics and its applications. The book can be recommended to researchers and university graduate students.' Jordan M. Stoyanov, Zentralblatt MATH
