Speaker Details

I was born in 1976 in Hungary and did my undergrad studies there, at the Univ of Szeged. My Master’s thesis was based on a probabilistic combinatorics paper published in Random Struct and Algorithms (with J Balogh). I also spent a year in Cambridge, UK, the Part III course, to learn modern geometry. I wrote my essay on E Witten’s supersymmetric approach to Morse theory. I started my PhD in Berkeley, under the supervision of Yuval Peres, in 2001. My research interests have been in critical random systems and their scaling limits; connections between stoch processes (random walk, percolation) and the large-scale geometry of the underlying graph; and a probabilistic game theory approach to understand certain PDE’s.
