Curriculum Vitae

  • Research interests:

    • dynamical systems: ergodic theory, statistical properties of dynamical systems, systems with symmetry
    • stochastic processes
    • operator algebras
    One of my current interests is the area of Dynamical Systems, in particular: rigidity of group actions on manifolds, cohomology of hyperbolic actions, ergodic theory, statistical properties of dynamical systems, systems with symmetry.
    I am also studying stochastic processes that can be used to model complex systems.
