Research   

My research interests are in probability and statistics, Markov chains, and random combinatorial structures. See my list of publications. Pictures left to right: random walk in three dimensions, random binary search tree, perfectly random hexagon tiling using the coupling-from-the-past perfect sampling algorithm..
