  Thesis: Evolution Systems of Measures for Nonautonomous Stochastic Differential Equations with Lévy Noise

Research Interests

My interests are in analysis and probability. My graduate work concerned existence and uniqueness conditions for evolution systems of measures for time nonautonomous SDEs with Lévy noise. In the autonomous setting much work has been done concerning the existence and uniqueness of invariant (or stationary) measures. However with time-dependent coefficients we cannot in general expect to find invariant measures, but rather a family of probability measures. This family is called an evolution system of measures. I am currently interested in applications of SDEs and agent based modeling.
