In your lifetime you won't encounter neither right choices nor bad choices,
but whenever you have to make one, you'll have to fight so that it becomes the best decision you could have ever taken.

Szegő Assistant Professor in Mathematics
Hi! I am a Szegő Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Department of Stanford University.
Before coming to Stanford, I was a Ph.D. student at the Institut für Mathematik of the Universität Zürich. My supervisors were Valentin Féray and Mathilde Bouvel.
I am mainly interested in probability theory and its connections to combinatorics and mathematical physics. I am studying several random combinatorial structures and their continuous limits, such as random permutons, multi-dimensional constrained Brownian motions, Schramm-Loewner evolutions, and Liouville quantum gravity.
ALERT: I have neither internships nor RA/Ph.D. positions for anyone other than Stanford mathematics or statistics (incoming) PhDs.

[17] A determinantal point process approach to scaling and local limits of random Young tableaux (with Cédric Boutillier, Valentin Féray and Pierre-Loïc Méliot).

We obtain scaling and local limit results for large random Young tableaux of fixed shape via the asymptotic analysis of a determinantal point process due to Gorin and Rahman (2019).…
[16] Power-law bounds for increasing subsequences in Brownian separable permutons and homogeneous sets in Brownian cographons (with William Da Silva and Ewain Gwynne).
March 29, 2023
The Brownian separable permutons are a one-parameter family – indexed by – of universal limits of random constrained permutations. We show that for each , there are explicit constants such…
[15] Permutons, meanders, and SLE-decorated Liouville quantum gravity (with Ewain Gwynne and Xin Sun).
July 5, 2022
We study a class of random permutons which can be constructed from a pair of space-filling Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) curves on a Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surface. This class includes…
