Welcome to my homepage! I am a Reader in Probability at the Statistical Laboratory, part of the DPMMS at the University of Cambridge. I am also a Fellow of King's College. If you've always wanted to know what the difference is between the university and the colleges, click here.
What I do
I am interested in many aspects of probability theory. I enjoy the rich interplay with other fields such as analysis, geometry or combinatorics. I am particularly interested in coalescing processes, and have used these ideas to study questions related to mixing times of random walks, random graphs, percolation, Brownian motion, etc. Often the motivations for studying these questions come from population genetics and statistical physics.
My resume is here.
Programme Grant on Random Geometry. Cambridge Probability has been awarded a substantial grant from EPSRC which will bring postdocs and visitors to Cambridge. See also the page of the probability group and the probability seminar.
