Teaching

I am teaching B8.1 Martingales Through Measure Theory, and CDT Foundation course on Measures and Probability Theory, in Michaelmas Term 2015.

Research interests

I am interested in stochastic analysis: diffusion processes, rough path analysis, backward stochastic differential equations and stochastic (partial) differential equations. I am also interested in the Ricci curvature and related partial differential equations, and its applications in the general theory of relativity, quantum fields etc.
