Research Summary

Broadly speaking I am interested in Probability Theory and Statistical Mechanics. I study two-dimensional conformally invariant systems. The basic model of these are the Schramm-Loewner Evolution and its variants. I also have interests in statistical mechanics, random walks in random environments, directed polymer models, last passage percolation, and random matrix theory.

Education

  • PhD, Mathematics, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University. Project: Dimension and Measure of SLE on the Boundary
  • BSc, Mathematics, University of Alberta
