SUMMARY OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE

The courses delivered: Analysis (Calculus), Theoretical Mechanics, Probability Theory, Mathematical Statistics, Stochastic Processes, Queueing Theory, System Theory, Information and Coding Theory, Robust Statistics, Applied Statistics and Mathematical Methods of Data Analysis, Robust Statistical Methods in Signal Processing, Methods of Optimization and their Applications.

SUMMARY OF RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

My interests are mainly concerned with the theory and applications of robust statistical methods and with mathematical methods and technologies of data analysis. The researches aim both at theoretical aspects and real-life needs of data and signal processing.

Current Activities and Future Research Plans

These activities and plans are mainly concerned with robust statistics and data analysis technologies including the extension of robust methods on the problems of multivariate statistical and time series analysis, the study of data compression procedures, normalizing data transformations, as well as some problems in queueing theory and general statistics with their applications to data and signal processing in electrical engineering:

• Robust multivariate statistics: robust correlation, detection of multivariate outliers in the data, robust classification.
• Robust time-series analysis: robust detection, robust spectra estimation.
• Reliability theory: robust estimation of scale in reliability models, application of robust methods in reliability.
• Semantic data analysis: taxonomy evaluation, datasets evaluation, multi-label hierarchical classification.
• Nonparametric statistics: estimation of quantile functions by the Bernstein polynomials and their generalizations.
• Data analysis: bivariate box-plots techniques, methods for normalizing the data, and probability-free methods.
• Queueing theory: analysis of priority queueing service discipline with applications to ATM networks and Internet.
• General statistics: parametric estimation in finite and discrete distribution models.
• Applications: signal processing (robust estimation and detection of signals) in electrical engineering, reliability models in mechanical engineering, data processing in cardiology and ophthalmology.
