Welcome to Emanuel József Godfried’s homepage
Hi, I’m Emanuel József, a 2nd year PhD student at School of Mathematics and Statistics of The University of Melbourne under the supervision of Leo Tzou (main) and Jesse Gell-Redman. My research is in applied probability, where I’m finding mean first capture times of various types of random walks using microlocal and PDE techniques.
Before this I completed my Master of Science in pure mathematics at the University of Amsterdam, graduating cum laude, with my master’s thesis, The parametrix of the Laplace-Beltrami operator, receiving a grade of 8.0 on a scale from 1 to 10.
Articles
- Mean first escape times of Brownian motion on asymptotically hyperbolic and gas giant surfaces [ArXiv]
Projects I’m currently working on
- Mean first escape time on general asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds (coming soon)
- Lévy flight captures on Zoll spheres (coming soon-ish)
