I am interested in probability theory, particularly percolation and particle systems. I study the existence, sharpness, and continuity of phase transitions, strong connectivity in bidirected percolation, and the growth and fluctuations of infection models. A central theme is how microscopic dependence and graph geometry affect these phenomena. I also study stable matchings with correlated random preferences.
