Antonia Foldes

Antonia Foldes is a distinguished professor in the Department of Mathematics at the City University of New York, College of Staten Island. With a career spanning over five decades, she has made significant contributions to the fields of probability theory and mathematical statistics. Her work primarily revolves around nonparametric statistics, Brownian motion, random walks, local time, additive functionals, and anisotropic walks. Foldes's research is characterized by a deep exploration into the properties of Brownian motion and random walks, with a particular interest in iterated processes and logarithmic averages. Her scholarly endeavors have led to the publication of numerous papers in prestigious academic journals, where she has explored topics such as limit theorems for random walks and Brownian motion, anisotropic random walks, and the local time of random walks. She earned her PhD from Eotvos University in Budapest, where she developed a robust foundation in strong approximation theorems. This academic background has been instrumental in shaping her research trajectory and has contributed to her reputation as a leading expert in her field. Throughout her career, Foldes has been dedicated to advancing the understanding of stochastic processes, and her work continues to influence both theoretical and applied aspects of mathematics. Her contributions have not only enriched the academic community but have also provided valuable insights into the complex behaviors of random processes. In addition to her research, Foldes is actively involved in mentoring students and fostering a collaborative research environment at the College of Staten Island. Her commitment to education and research excellence has made her a respected figure among her peers and students alike.
