Biography

I am currently an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Utah. My main focus of research is in probability theory, and within that 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.
