Research

I am a graduate student at Cornell University in the mathematics department working under the direction of Laurent Saloff-Coste.
My research focuses on the quantitative analysis of ergodic Markov chains.
I am interested in convergence bounds for time homogeneous and inhomogeneous Markov chains.

Here is a copy of my CV.


Publications

Convergence of some time inhomogeneous Markov chains via spectral techniques. (with L. Saloff-Coste).

Refined estimates for some basic random walks on the symmetric and alternating groups. (with L. Saloff-Coste). Submitted.

Teaching

Last semester I taught MATH 105.
