Nikola Sandrić  is one of the first NEWFELPRO fellows in the outgoing scheme who successfully finished with the implementation of his 16 month long project titled Sample Path Properties of Lévy-Type Processes (SPPLTP). Dr. Sandrić conducted his research at the Technical University Dresden (Germany), Institute for Stochastic mathematics, during the outgoing scheme of his project under the mentorship of Dr. René Schilling. He spent his return phase implementing his project at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the University of Zagreb.

The aim of this project was to study sample path properties of Feller processes associated with pseudo-differential operators, called Lévy-type processes, in terms of the corresponding symbol or, equivalently, Lévy triplet. More precisely, the goal was to study discrete-time (Markov chain) approximations, fluctuations (oscillations), recurrence and transience and certain limiting behaviors (that is, variants of the law of large numbers, law of the iterated logarithm and central limit theorem) of Lévy-type processes on all three levels: bounded coefficients, unbounded coefficients and random coefficients.

Throughout his project he held following presentations of his project and work:

He also participated in a workshop „Dirichlet forms and Stochastic Analysis" (2014) and Erasmus 2015 Summer School for PhD Students in Dresden.
 
Based on the results of his project, he published following articles:

Upon finishing his NEWFELPRO project, dr. Sandrić continues with his academic endeavours as an assistant professor at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the University of Zagreb.

Congratulations!
