The main research topics concern the theory of stochastic processes, which are fundamental in the description of the physics of complex systems. I am interested in the transport properties of systems in which translational invariance is broken, due to spatial inhomogeneity or disorder. I am also interested in first-passage and persistence problems for stochastic processes, which have applications in equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, as well as in the theory of extreme values, which is useful for assessing the occurrence and intensity of extreme events.
