Vladimir Lotov

Vladimir Lotov is a Professor at the Department of Probability and Statistics, Novosibirsk State University, and Head of the Laboratory of Probability and Statistics at the Sobolev Institute of Mathematics. With over 40 years of teaching experience, he has contributed extensively to probability theory through research, mentorship, and publications.

• Education:
  • M.Sc. (1971), Novosibirsk State University
  • Candidate of Science (1977), Steklov Mathematical Institute
  • Doctor of Science (1989), Steklov Mathematical Institute

Research Interests: Focus on boundary crossing problems for random walks and stochastic processes, factorization methods, limit theorems, asymptotic expansions, and sequential analysis. His work has applications in actuarial science, statistical process control, and stochastic modeling.

Scientific Contributions: Lotov has published over 100 papers, with recent works addressing exact formulas for boundary problems, properties of boundary functionals, and asymptotic analysis of renewal functions. His research spans both theoretical advancements and practical applications in probability theory.

Mentorship: Supervised over 55 undergraduate and 4 graduate students, including Ph.D. advisees V.R. Khodjibaev (1998), D.K. Kim (2005), N.G. Orlova (2006), and A.S. Tarasenko (2016).
