Research interests
I work in integrable probability and mathematical physics, with a focus on models in the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang universality class. My research concerns interacting particle systems, percolation, and random polymers, especially their fluctuations, long-time asymptotics, large deviations, correlations, and path geometry. I use both integrable techniques and probabilistic methods, and am also interested in random matrix theory and related models in statistical mechanics.
