Research interests

Initially starting from fluid queues and stochastic fluid networks, my research topics have slightly shifted to the study of (general) stochastic models. Those mainly include study of ruin problems and risk processes with reinvestment and/or diffusion. Another hot topic is reinsurance, which is in some way related to ruin problems in dimension greater than 1. I am also interested in links between first passage problems (typically applied to Risk theory) and Queueing theory, particularly in the so-called duality relation as first explained in the paper by Asmussen and Schock Petersen (1988). These days, I am also getting an interest in reliability issues, specifically in degradation/maintenance problems, as well as mathematical problems issued from biology/genomic issues, and estimation in ARMA models with regime switching. All in all, my global interest lies in applied probability  and applications/study of stochastic models to various problems in economics, life sciences, telecoms, etc., in a wide sense.
