Synopsis
Synopsis
My work is rooted in Probability with branches in Convex Geometry, Combinatorics, and Mathematical Physics.
I use and develop tools from stochastic analysis, spectral theory, and measure transport towards geometric and combinatorial optimal structures (see image), as well as functional inequalities in high dimensions.
