I. Komech, at the Chair of Differential Equations, Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, Moscow State University (Lomonosov). At the same time I began my contacts with Professor M. I. Vishik. These two mathematicians have had the strong influence on my research concentrated at that time on the asymptotical behaviour of statistical solutions to hyper- bolic equations (i.e., solutions with random initial data). In 1985 I began

3 working on mathematical problems of quantum statistical mechanics. In my PhD thesis I have proved that if initial data for a hyperbolic equa- tion are chosen to be random and distributed according to a random field with mixing condition, the solution converges, as time increases, to a Gaus- sian field. This result was established for a wide class of linear hyperbolic equations (with constant and non-constant coefficients), including the stan- dard wave equation. Assertions of that kind are naturally related, on the one hand, to a specific form of the Central Limit Theorem of Probability Theory, and on the other hand, to a complete integrability of the equations under consideration. The proof combines arguments from Theory of Differential Equations, Scattering Theory (including scattering for data with infinite en- ergy) and Probability Theory. Later I have proved similar results for some other classes of differential equations. Another direction of my research of this period, which I only mention briefly in this short note, is related to the problem of describing invariant states for various systems of quantum statistical mechanics by means of C∗- algebras technique. Here, again a complete integrability of the system plays an important role. In my Dr.Sci. Thesis I continued the investigations of stochastic solutions to partial differential equations and their asymptotics. The first part contains the discussion of such problems for linear equations with random coefficients. The methods of the proofs are varied from the case of deterministic coeffi- cients mentioned above, and the limit distributions are already non-Gaussian random fields. The problems related to so-called telegraph random walks in inhomogeneous media are investigated as well. In addition there are cal- culated the probabilities of the distributions of first passage times to these processes. The processes with absorption and reflection are investigated as well. Recently some new results related to such processes on a plane were obtained (joint works with prof. E.Orsingher from the University of Rome “La Sapienza”). The work on branching processes with finite velocities and respective nonlinear hyperbolic systems was in the scope of my interests as well. The convergence to travelling wave solutions was proved. This direction of my research has applications to physical and biological problems. Recently financial market models based on Markov chains are constructed and developed. This field of my scientific activity is based on an idea to change a diffusion in the Black-Scholes model by a random walk with finite velocities. It can be applied to option pricing and optimal investments prob-

4 lems as well as to risk-management of equity-linked life insurance contracts. Now it is the point of my principal research interest. TEACHING EXPERIENCE During my professorship I have the experience in teaching university courses in analysis, probability theory, statistics and mathematical physics. My main interests in this area focus on teaching Probability Theory and Statistics. These lectures are a natural extension of my research in the above areas. Eight years ago I began to teach mathematical economics also, par- ticularly stochastic financial mathematics (for students of mathematical and economics faculties). I published the textbook on this topic (in Russian), the extended, modified and corrected version of this book will be published in Spanish in 2008/09. In 2000 and 2002/2003 I’ve been the visiting professor of the University “La Sapienza” in Rome (Italy). My teaching duties there consisted of the lectures on stochastic analysis and financial mathematics at the Department of Probability, Statistics and Statistic Applications as well as at the Department of Actuarial and Financial Sciences. During my affiliation to the University Simon Bolivar (2002-03) I taught Probability Theory (for undergraduate students) and Applied Probability (for postgraduates). In Colombia (beginning from 2004) I have the experi- ence on teaching of Mathematics for Finance, including stochastic analysis (for undergraduate students of Economics Faculty), Stochastic Analysis and Mathematical Economics (for postgraduates).
