Research topics
My interest is mainly for stochastic processes and mathematical physics (out-of-equilibrium statistical physics and dynamics in disordered/glassy systems). In particular my research has covered the following topics: Hydrodynamic limit of interacting particle systems in random environment; Random walks in random environment; Random walks in dynamic random environment; Mott variable range hopping; Piecewise deterministic Markov processes; Large deviations of empirical measure, flow, current; Gallavotti-Cohen symmetry (fluctuation theorems); Discrete kinetic models of molecular motors; Kinetically constrained models; Coalescence processes; h-extrema of Brownian motion; Plaquette models for glassy dynamics; aging; random resistor networks; linear response theory.
