I am a postdoc at the École normale supérieure de Lyon, in the group of Alice Guionnet. Previously I was a graduate student at the Statistics Department at the University of California, Berkeley, co-advised by Shirshendu Ganguly and Steve Evans. For more information see my CV.

Research
My research is in probability theory. I focus on random graphs and matrices on the one hand, and processes motivated by biological applications on the other. In the first area I have been working on sparse Erdős-Rényi graphs, and am currently also interested in geometric graphs and dense matrices. In the second area my work has been on weakly interacting branching processes. I hope to combine these two research directions in the future.
