Research

My research mainly focuses on discrete probability objects and their scaling limits.
A few keywords: sparse random graphs, branching processes, mixing times of Markov chains, the Gaussian free field, interacting particle systems, random walks in strongly-correlated environments.
My collaborators include: Arthur Blanc-Renaudie, Camille Cazaux, Christina Goldschmidt, Daniel Kious, Tanguy Lions, Cécile Mailler, Pierre-François Rodriguez, Arvind Singh.
