Professional interests

My research interests include geometric function theory (conformal and quasiconformal mappings, analysis on metric spaces), complex dynamics, and some questions from probability/mathematical physics. The recent discovery of the Schramm Loewner Evolution SLE by Oded Schramm led to spectacular breakthroughs in questions about random walks, planar Brownian motion, and critical lattice processes such as percolation. Currently, most of my research is related to SLE and similar processes.
