Research focuses on stochastic processes, long-range dependence, heavy tails, and their applications across various fields such as oceanography and internet traffic analysis.
Education
1999-2005: Ph.D. in Mathematics and Statistics from Boston University, with Professor Murad S. Taqqu; 1994-1998: Master’s in Mathematics from Sofia University, with Professor Dimitar L.

Background
Bulgarian, born in Moscow, Russia, raised in the village of Varben (Върбен), and the cities Plovdiv (Пловдив) and Sofia (София), Bulgaria (България). Research interests include stochastic processes, long-range dependence, heavy tails, and extremes. Spatial, spatio-temporal, and functional data models. Applications to oceanography, Internet traffic modeling, computer science, insurance, and finance.
