Publications

Books:

Classical and spatial stochastic processes, Birkhauser 1999.

This book starts with classical stochastic processes (random walks,  birth and death chains, branching processes) and then introduces the reader to some spatial processes such as percolation, cellular automaton, contact process. This is intended to be a short and  elementary introduction to a difficult subject. I have been relatively successful using this as a textbook at the senior undergraduate and beginning graduate level.

Probability with statistical applications, Birkhauser  2001.

This book grew out of notes for a first one semester course in probability and statistics. The focus is on fundamental examples and concepts. The number of topics is small  in order to concentrate on what I think are the fundamental ideas of the subject.

Research interests:

These last years I have been using  spatial stochastic models to investigate questions in population biology.
