I am a postdoc at the Courant Institute at NYU working in probability theory. You may find my pre-prints and publications here on the arXiv.

With Janek Wehr, we have proved a shape theorem for random Riemannian metrics in a general setting. We have also submitted two articles on minimizing geodesics in this random setting. For an introduction to this topic, see the first section of our Geodesics paper.

To control technical estimates for random Riemannian metrics, I have developed some results of continuous disintegrations for Gaussian processes.

I am also interested in political science. With Smith and Bueno de Mesquita, we have developed a general model for voting behavior using game theory. With Andrew Little and Josh Tucker, we have a rational-choice model for the peaceful transfer of power after democratic elections.
