Benjamin Povar
I am a third-year PhD student in Statistics Department. My interests mainly lie in probability theory and stochastic processes: random walks, branching processes, weak limits and local times. I worked in the quantitative finance research team at CompatibL for 1.5 years.
I got my Bachelor's degree in applied mathematics at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in 2019. Then I spent a semester in the research group run by Prof. Sylvie Roelly at Potsdam University. In 2021 I graduated from Kyiv Polytechnic Institute with a distinguished Master's diploma in mathematics. During most of my undergraduate studies I was supervised by Prof. Andrey Pilipenko.
