About

I am a mathematician working on problems in statistical mechanics and probability theory. My main interest is in understanding emergent phenomena and phase transitions: how (and when) do large numbers of interacting particles exhibit collective large-scale behaviours?

Research

See my arXiv page.

Events

Upcoming (as participant): PiNE Workshop, Edinburgh; Topological Phase Transition and Localization of Random Fields, CMM, Chile; Statistical Mechanics of Lattice Systems, Brin Center, Maryland; Statistical Mechanics: planar & beyond, Vienna.

I co-organize the Durham Probability Seminar with Dr. Oliver Tough.

Past (as organiser): Frontiers… workshops.

Open position

I am currently advertising a PDRA (postdoc) position in probability/statistical mechanics/mathematical physics, see here. The position is for 36 months (there is an additional 6 months of funding beyond the grant duration). Please contact me if you are interested in applying and have questions! The application deadline is December 7th.
