Project description
The main topic of the research will be analysis of discrete-time stochastic processes and interacting particle systems, with a focus on history-dependent random processes and models related to random geometry. The analysis of such models uses a broad spectrum of probability theory, including e. g. results from martingale theory, random graphs theory and percolation. The project also aims to contribute to the study of social networks dynamics.
