I am currently an associate professor at
Bridgewater State University and am serving as the graduate chair in
the math department.
Before coming to BSU, I was a postdoc at Cornell University, and before that I was at the
University of Southern California where I received my PhD under the direction of
Jason Fulman.
Additional information can be found in my C.V.
For the Summer 2022 semester, I will be teaching MATH 484.01 (Random Walks and Representations) at Boğaziçi University.
My research is primarily concerned with probability theory and its applications. I am particularly interested in Markov chains defined on algebraic and combinatorial structures and in distributional approximation using Stein's method techniques.
Feel free to check out these papers for further details:
Those interested in an introduction to probability are welcome to look at my old notes for Elementary Probability, Probability Theory I, and Probability Theory II.
