To learn something and appreciate it from time to time. Isn't it delightful? (from the Analects of Confucius)

Research interests

Probability, Statistical Mechanics
I am interested in interacting particle systems from statistical mechanics which have novel physical properties and beautiful mathematical structures. I have mainly been working on one-dimensional stochastic processes, in particular, the asymmetric exclusion process using the methods related to integrable systems such as the orthogonal polynomials and random matrix theory. I also have interests in random spin systems and their applications.
