1. Contributions to the Theory of Measures of Association for Ordinal Variables
Abstract : In this thesis, we consider measures of association for ordinal variables from a theoretical perspective. In particular, we study the phi-coefficient, the tetrachoric correlation coefficient and the polychoric correlation coefficient. READ MORE

2. Applications of Gaussian Noise Stability in Inapproximability and Social Choice Theory
Abstract : Gaussian isoperimetric results have recently played an important role in proving fundamental results in hardness of approximation in computer science and in the study of voting schemes in social choice theory. In this thesis we prove a generalization of a Gaussian isoperimetric result by Borell and show that it implies that the majority function is optimal in Condorcet voting in the sense that it maximizes the probability that there is a single candidate which the society prefers over all other candidates.

3. Raster Image Analysis of Diffusion via Single Particle Methods
Abstract : Soft biomaterials are widely used in many application areas, spanning from packaging materials to pharmaceuticals. To enhance their functionalities, understanding the interplay between microstructure and mass transport properties in these materials is fundamental. READ MORE

4. Spatial Statistics and Ancestral Recombination Graphs with Applications in Gene Mapping and Geostatistics
Abstract : This thesis explores models and algorithms in geostatistics and gene mapping. The first part deals with the use of computationally effective lattice models for inference of data with a continuous spatial index. READ MORE

5. On parabolic equations of Kolmogorov-Fokker-Planck type
Abstract : In this thesis solutions to Kolmogorov-Fokker-Planck type equations are studied. It consists of a comprehensive summary and four scientific articles.In the first article a potential theory for certain strongly degenerate parabolic operators in unbounded domains of Lipschitz type is developed.
