Hi! I'm an Associate Professor at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. I finished my PhD in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2018 under the supervision of Scott Sheffield, and after that I was at ETH Zurich as a Junior Fellow and postdoc in the group of Wendelin Werner.
I do research in probability theory and mathematical physics, including topics such as Liouville quantum gravity, Schramm-Loewner evolutions, random planar maps, and statistical physics.
My e-mail address is firstname.lastname@nyu.edu.
