Research summary

My research focuses on studying asymptotic properties of stochastic processes, in particular, their large deviation asymptotics. Asymptotics are often an only way of gaining insight into the behaviour of complex stochastic dynamical systems. Limit theorems for the associated stochastic processes are function space extensions of the classical limit theorems of probability theory. Large deviation asymptotics can be expressed in the form of large deviation convergence to idempotent processes. Applications include queueing networks, statistics, and random graphs.
