Graduated in the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (1985), master's degree in Statistics from the University of São Paulo (1989), doctorate in Statistics from the University of São Paulo (1994). Visiting Scholar at the Mathematics department at Cornell University, USA (1995-1997) and Visiting Professor of Mathematics Department of the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (2010-2011). Full Professor at the University of São Paulo since 2011 and coordinator of a Fapesp Thematic Grant (5-year grant) "Stochastic modeling of interacting systems". In the period 2021-23, he is head of the Statistics department at IME-USP. He has experience in Probability and Statistics, with emphasis on Stochastic Special Processes, acting on the following topics: interacting particle systems, fashion theorem, theorems limits, method of Lyapunov functions, branching processes, random walks systems, percolation , epidemic and rumors models.

The digital transformation is still little consolidated in Brazilian society. Improvements in performance and differentiation resulting of such transformation have not yet been fully absorbed in companies and in the public administration. In general, solutions required for implementing the digital transformation in cities and in manufacturing processes combine advanced connectivity and au…
The Probability and Stochastic Processes group, consolidated and working at the Statistics and Mathematics departments of USP, UFSCar, Unicamp and UFABC, has international visibility and recognition due to \textit {(i)} its frequent and relevant publications in high standard international journals, \textit {(ii)} sucessful organization of conferences that are on the agenda of the best res…
The present project originates in the previous 'projetos temáticos': Stochastic modeling of interacting systems (October 2004 to October 2008), Dynamical phase transitions in evolutionary systems, Large deviations, diffusion and localization (June 1991 to August 1994) and Critical phenomena in evolutionary processes and equilibrium systems (in two editions, from August 1995 to August 1998…
The present project is the continuation of the previous projetos temáticos: dynamical phase transitions in evolutionary systems, large deviations, diffusion and localization, (1991 to 1994) and critical phenomena in evolutionary processes and equilibrium systems(in two editions, 1995 to 1998, and from 2000 to 2004). They all were highly sucessful and triggered a remarkable increase in the…

In this project we will study basic principles of computation and quantum information theory, areas of science that are located at the interface between quantum mechanics and computer science. Quantum computing and classical computing are not distinct disciplines. In reality, quantum computing is more general, as any classical algorithm can be, in principle, implemented in a quantum compu…
We intend to continue the research on the particle systems on graphs known as frog model, which was formulated to model the propagation of information or epidemics in a network. In the study of these systems on finite graphs, the main interest is the duration of the process and the proportion of the population informed or infected by the disease after all viruses die. We are interested in…
We will investigate a basic immigration process where colonies grow, during a random time, following a counting process until a collapse. At the time of collapse, only random amounts of individuals survive. These survivors try to establish new colonies independently in neighboring locations. We will consider this general process subject to two distinct schemes, the first with colony growt…
We will study the trap model in the tree in order to obtain scaling limits on time scales that exhibit aging. To this target, we will obtain weak convergence results of the dynamics properly rescaled.
The objective of this project is to continue the study of models on random graphs for modeling topics such as the transmission of information in networks, construction of phylogenetic trees, epidemiological dynamics or population biology. Simplicity and flexibility are absolutely necessary conditions for this sort of models. Enough simplicity to allow some level of sophistication in the m…
