We discuss the two-dimensional motion of a Brownian particle that is confined to a harmonic trap and driven by a shear flow. The surrounding medium induces memory effects modelled by a linear, typically nonreciprocal coupling of the…

The canonical Evans--Majumdar model for diffusion with stochastic resetting to the origin assumes that resetting takes zero time: upon resetting the diffusing particle is teleported back to the origin to start its motion anew. However, in…

We study the effect of a resetting point randomly distributed around the origin on the mean first passage time of a Brownian searcher moving in one dimension. We compare the search efficiency with that corresponding to reset to the origin…

There are a wide range of first passage time (FPT) problems in the physical and life sciences that can be modelled in terms of a Brownian particle binding to a reactive surface (absorption). However, prior to absorption, the particle may…

A particle driven by active self-propulsion can be subject to inhomogeneous potential fields, steering its orientation and leading to confinement and eventual trapping. Analytical treatment of capture and/or release dynamics for general…

We investigate the role of stochastic resetting in non-Markovian systems, where memory effects arise due to slow relaxation, rugged energy landscapes, disordered environments, and molecular crowding. Using the celebrated continuous-time…

We study the Brownian motion of a particle in a bounded circular 2-dimensional domain, in search for a stationary target on the boundary of the domain. The process switches between two modes: one where it performs a two-dimensional…

Bayesian inference provides a principled way of estimating the parameters of a stochastic process that is observed discretely in time. The overdamped Brownian motion of a particle confined in an optical trap is generally modelled by the…

Stochastic resetting models diverse phenomena across numerous scientific disciplines. Current understanding stems from the renewal framework, which relates systems subject to global resetting to their non-resetting counterparts. Yet, in…

Stochastic resetting has emerged as a useful strategy to reduce the completion time for a broad class of first passage processes. In the canonical setup, one intermittently resets a given system to its initial configuration only to start…
