 # Welcome
 
-I am a Professor of Computer Science with research interests in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computational methods. My work focuses on developing novel algorithms and applications that bridge theoretical foundations with practical implementations.
+I am a mathematician working in probability theory and stochastic processes. My recent research interests involve asymptotic analysis of rare events' probabilities, the simplest example being $\{  \exists \, t : X_t > u \}$, where $X$ is a Gaussian process and $u$ is large. This is a subject of my [[unil_thesis.pdf|second PhD thesis]] defended recently at the Université de Lausanne. During my first PhD at St. Petersburg department of V.A. Steklov's Mathematical Institute, I have studied semigroups and generators of Markov processes confined to bounded areas $D \subset \mathbb{R}^d$. This is a subject of my [[pdmi_thesis.pdf|first thesis]] (in Russian).
