Research
My
area of
specialization is probability theory with a background in stochastic
processes and a later emphasis in problems
related to discrete probability, asymptotic enumeration, analytic
combinatorics and generating functions. I have a variety of other
interests (some of them interdisciplinary) that include patterns
in random strings, automata theory, bioinformatics and computational
molecular biology.

Looking for thesis advisor? ...
If you are an APPM PhD or Master student and have some interests in
probability theory or its applications (e.g. to computer science,
engineering, bioinformatics, etc ) please feel free to contact me.
Advisory for students in other departments is also very welcome and
only subject to my time availability. When it comes to find a
dissertation problem you can come up with one of your own, I can give
you one, or we can both figure out a problem to work on that it is of
interest for both of us.

101 years ago: In 1906, Walther Hermann Nenst
formulated the III law of thermodynamics. For his work on
thermochemistry, Nenst will be awarded the Nobel prize for chemistry in
1920.
...
102 years ago: In 1905, Albert Einstein
formulated his hypothesis of light quanta. For his discovery of the law
governing the photoelectric effect, Einstein will be awarded the Nobel
prize for physics in 1921.
