I work at the University of Oxford, where I am based in the Statistics Department and St Hugh's College.

Research

My research is in probability theory, with strong links to statistical physics and theoretical computer science. Research interests include: interacting particle systems; models of random growth and percolation; models of coagulation and fragmentation; performance analysis of queueing and communication networks.

Co-authors include Omer Angel, Thierry Bodineau, Rui Dong, Pablo Ferrari, Christina Goldschmidt, Patrícia Gonçalves, Ben Hambly, Alexander Holroyd, Neil O'Connell, Leandro Pimentel, Utkir Rozikov, Dario Spanò and Yuri Suhov.

You can find my papers here.

Some seminars in Oxford: Stochastic Analysis, Combinatorial Theory, Statistics Dept. Seminar, Mathematical Genetics and Bioninformatics, CABDyN seminar.

In last week's episode...

Until recently I worked for the CNRS, based in LIAFA in University Paris 7 (I am currently "en détachement"). Before that I was at the Statslab in Cambridge (where I am also a member of St John's College and was "lector" at Jesus College), and in the TREC group at the ENS in Paris.
