About us

We are a research group from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Buenos Aires and IMAS, a joint research institute of UBA and CONICET. Our members include Professors, PhD students, and undergraduate students. We focus on probability theory and stochastic modeling, exploring both theoretical aspects and applications. Our research covers a variety of topics such as interacting particle systems, quasi-stationary behavior, random growth, synchronization, machine learning and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, with particular interest in scaling limits, phase transitions and applications to physics, biology, computer science and many other areas where randomness plays a key role. We foster collaborations with researchers across Argentina and worldwide. For more details on specific projects and publications, please visit the personal web pages of the members or contact us directly.

Our weekly seminar takes place every Friday at 12 pm in Sala de Conferencias, Pabellón 1, Ciudad Universitaria. These meetings provide a space to share ongoing work, discuss recent progress and exchange ideas. Everyone is welcome to join. We especially encourage students to come: no prior experience or commitment is necessary, so don’t hesitate to drop by and meet us. To receive announcements, join our Telegram group. If you’d like to give a talk, contact us or write to modesto@dm.uba.ar.
