Hi! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at MIT. My office is 2-275 in the Simons Building.

Before coming to MIT, I was a Szegő Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Department of Stanford University. I got my Ph.D. from the Institut für Mathematik at the Universität Zürich, under the supervision of Valentin Féray and Mathilde Bouvel.

I am mainly interested in probability theory and its connections to combinatorics and mathematical physics. I study various random combinatorial structures and their continuous limits, including random permutons, meanders, multi-dimensional constrained Brownian motions, Schramm-Loewner evolutions, and Liouville quantum gravity.

NEWS: I am organizing the Directed Reading Program (DRP) in mathematics during the Independent Activities Period (IAP) period.
