I am a mathematician broadly interested in combinatorics, probability theory and related areas in statistical physics and theoretical computer science. I organise a weekly seminar at Rutgers around these topics.

Before joining the faculty at Rutgers, I held a research fellowship at St John's College, Cambridge. Earlier still, I received my PhD from Cambridge under Béla Bollobás. Here is a detailed CV.

Here are copies of all of my publications, and here are some lecture notes from courses past. A few papers representative of my interests are listed below.
