Mathematical modeling in hydrology
Transport processes in groundwater were modeled as diffusion in random velocity fields in terms of trajectories (Ito equations) and probability distributions (Fokker-Planck equations). The focus was mainly on ergodicity issue, memory effects, and modeling probability density functions of solute concentrations. The theoretical results were supported by accurate numerical simulations.

Continuous models of corpuscular systems
The balance equations of continuum fields expressed as space-time coarse-grained averages was derived using the condition that the microscopic particles preserve their identity over a finite time interval within which their motion can be described by piecewise analytical time functions. Applications of this approach were obtained for financial markets, granular flows, natural porous media, lipid bilayers, etc.
