I am a post-doc researcher at the theory group of Microsoft research.
I obtained my Ph.D. in Mathematics at U.C. Berkeley under the supervision of
of Prof. Yuval Peres .
My research interests are probability theory and statistical physics. I focus on percolation, random walks
and mixing time of Markov chains.
