Research

The main areas of my research are Probability and Computations on Groups and Enumerative Combinatorics. My undergraduate advisor was Alexandre Kirillov (currently at UPenn). My graduate advisor was Persi Diaconis (currently at Stanford). As a postdoc at Yale, I was working with László Lovász (currently at Microsoft Research). I must add that my interest in Combinatorics was influenced by Richard Stanley (still at M.I.T.)

Here are some of my papers.

Courses:

• Combinatorial Analysis (18.314, Fall 2006)

• Geometric Combinatorics (18.319, Spring 2006)

• Introduction to Probability and Statistics (18.05, Spring 2007)

• Combinatorial Theory (18.315, Fall 2005)

• Convex Polytopes and Combinatorial Geometry (18.318, Topics in Combinatorics)

• Probability and Computation on Groups (18.317, Fall 2001)

Lectures:

• Ribbon Tile Invariants. The Prequel and the Sequel.
  
• Probability and Computation on Groups.
• Dyson's rank, crank and adjoint

Resume :

I have a short (.pdf file, 1 page) and an extended (.pdf file, 18 pages) versions of the resume.
The outline of my research (.pdf file, 4 pages) and the list of papers (.pdf file, 4 pages).
I also have a (somewhat dated) list of my coauthors with their web pages (if available).
