About me

I am a fifth year mathematics PhD student at Stanford University, advised by Amir Dembo. I am currently on the postdoc job market.

I am broadly interested in probability theory and its applications to mathematical/statistical physics. Some particular topics of interest include Gibbs measures, line ensembles, growth models, and random interfaces.

Here is my CV.
