Assistant Professor, Department of Mathematics, Purdue University

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Purdue University, specializing in probability. My research is currently mainly focused on the infinite volume structure of random walks in random potentials (RWRP). The RWRP model is connected to many interesting things happening in probability today and, in particular, to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class. I am also interested in related topics like stochastic partial differential equations.

Prior to coming to Purdue, I earned my Ph.D. in Mathematics in 2016 at the University of Wisconsin - Madison under the supervision of Benedek Valkó. I spent the 2016-2017 academic year as a postdoc in the Laboratoire de Probabilités et Modèles Aléatoires at Université Paris Diderot. After that, I was a postdoc in the stochastics group at the University of Utah from 2017 until 2020.
