Olá! I’m Rodrigo Ribeiro, a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Denver. This website serves as a bridge between my students and me, and as a platform to showcase the findings of my research in probability. Additionally, I occasionally share personal reflections in the Blog section. Welcome!

Structural results for the Tree Builder Random Walk – 2023

Abstract We study the Tree Builder Random Walk: a randomly growing tree, built by a walker as she is walking around the tree. Namely, at each time $n$, she adds a leaf to her current vertex with probability $p_n=n^{-\gamma}$, $\gamma\in (2/3,1]$, then moves to a uniform random neighbor on the possibly modified tree. We show…

Renewal structure of the tree builder random walk – 2023

Abstract In this paper, we study a class of random walks that build their own tree. At each step, the walker attaches a random number of leaves to its current position. The model can be seen as a subclass of the Random Walk in Changing Environments (RWCE) introduced by G. Amir, I. Benjamini, O. Gurel-Gurevich…

A probabilistic model for networks generated by actors’ characteristics – 2023

with D. Duarte (UFMG) and W. H. Pereira (UFMG) – accepted for publication at Journal of Computational Science Abstract This work presents the affinity network model for random graphs, consisting of a broad family ofrandom graph models depending on some parameters. In this model, we suppose that each individualrandomly chooses a set of characteristics that represent…
