I am broadly interested in combinatorics, probability theory and related areas in statistical physics and theoretical computer science. Here is a detailed CV. Some other biographical information may be found here.

Before joining the faculty at Rutgers, I was a Research Fellow at St John's College and a member of the DPMMS at Cambridge. Earlier still, I received my PhD from the University of Cambridge under Béla Bollobás.

Here are copies of all of my publications; a few representative articles are listed below. Some handwritten lecture notes from past courses may be found here.
