About me

I am now a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Sussex having completed my PhD supervised by Jon Warren, Roger Tribe and Oleg Zaboronski.

Research Interests

My research interests are in probability theory and include coalescing and annihilating Brownian motions, random matrix theory and the KPZ universality class.
