Mt. Roberts, near Juneau, AK (Aug. 2007) (Many) more travel photos live on Picasa.

Welcome to Elena Yudovina's home page.

I am a third-year PhD student at Emmanuel College supervised by Frank Kelly in the Statistical Laboratory at the University of Cambridge.

Supervisions

I am currently (Lent 2012) not supervising anything.

Previously, I have been teaching examples classes for Part III Stochastic Networks (L2011, M2011 Frank Kelly). I have also supervised Part IB Markov Chains (M2010 Frank Kelly, M2011 Richard Weber), Part IB Optimisation (E2009 Richard Weber), Part II Applied Probability (L2009 Yuriy Suhov), Part II Principles of Statistics (M2011, Philip Dawid) and Part II Number Theory (M2009 John Coates).

See the supervisions page for more details, including some of the solution sheets.

Lecture notes

• Introduction to Lie algebras and their representations (Ian Grojnowski, Michaelmas 2010)
• Stochastic networks (Frank Kelly, Lent 2011)
• Random matrices (Slava Kargin, Michaelmas 2011) -- 2nd edition, extensively revised by Slava

My other interests include number theory, hiking (sorry — hillwalking) and backpacking, beginner classical guitar, ice cream, ballroom dancing, and science fiction. They notably do not include writing web pages.
