معرفی
Danijel Grahovac is an Associate Professor at the School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek. His academic career spans multiple research areas in probability theory and applied statistics, with particular focus on stochastic processes and their applications.
His educational background includes a PhD in mathematics from the Faculty of Natural Science, Department of Mathematics, University of Zagreb (2015), with a thesis titled Scaling properties of stochastic processes with applications to parameter estimation and sample path properties, supervised by N.N. Leonenko and M. Benšić. He also holds two Master's degrees (2010, 2016) and a Bachelor's degree (2008) in Mathematics from the University of Osijek.
Grahovac's research primarily focuses on limit theorems, scaling properties of stochastic processes (including self-similarity and multifractal processes), heavy-tailed distributions, and applied probability and statistics. His work often bridges theoretical developments with practical applications in fields such as image analysis, seismology, and financial modeling. He has developed innovative clustering algorithms and contributed significantly to the understanding of supOU (superpositions of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck) processes and their properties.
His recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate continued productivity across multiple journals including Pattern Analysis and Applications, Bernoulli, and Journal of Theoretical Probability. The articles reveal a consistent research trajectory examining the behavior of stochastic processes, particularly focusing on intermittency, scaling properties, and applications to real-world problems like earthquake analysis and image segmentation.
Grahovac leads the project Scaling in stochastic models, funded by the Croatian Science Foundation since December 2023. Previously, he led another project Limiting behavior of intermittent processes and diffusions funded by the University of Osijek (2019/2020). He has served on editorial boards including as Co-Editor of Croatian Operational Research Review and participated in organizing committees for several statistical conferences.
As an educator, Grahovac teaches Probability (Winter semesters), Time Series Analysis, and Statistical Learning (Summer semesters). His teaching materials, primarily in Croatian, cover advanced statistical methods with practical implementations in R.
