About Me

profile.jpg

Hi! I am an L.E. Dickson Instructor at the University of Chicago. I received my Ph.D. from MIT, where I was advised by Scott Sheffield.

My research focuses on random geometries and their connections to random fractal curves, driven by ideas from probability theory, statistical physics, quantum gravity, Riemannian geometry, and combinatorics.

Key topics: Liouville quantum gravity, Yang-Mills theory, Schramm-Loewner evolutions, Brownian loops, log-correlated fields, among others.
