Current Research and Scholarly Interests

My research area is probability theory with connections to combinatorics. I mainly focus on the study of various random discrete structures such as random permutations, walks, trees and planar maps. I am interested in their continuous and discrete limits and I look at universality phenomena. I introduced a universal family of limiting permutons, called "skew Brownian permuton", and explored its connections with Liouville quantum gravity. I also studied some polytopes arising from permutations.
